The actress, who was in Jaisalmer for about three weeks, learned the art in about a week's time. A source close to the development revealed, "It is a tough art to learn where one needs to have the correct body balance to walk on a rope which is tied at a height of almost 8-10 ft above the ground. Jacqueline learnt the art with ease, her excitement to learn the art made her journey of learning easy."
The source further said, "She has also trained herself in pole dancing and aerial yoga earlier on a personal level which we believe helped her to get the balancing part of the art correctly. She has given some amazing shots and left everyone spellbound in learning the art so perfectly."
The upcoming film is being helmed by Farhad Samji and bankrolled by Sajid Nadiadwala. It will hit the theatres on January 26, 2022. The cast also features actors Arshad Warsi and Pankaj Tripathi. Warsi will essay the role of Akshay's friend, The flick will reportedly be shot in places like Gadisar Lake and Jaisalkot.
