Melissa McCarthy almost broke Nargis Fakhri’s hand while shooting Spy

In director Paul Feig’s upcoming action-comedy Spy, Oscar-winning actress Melissa McCarthy plays CIA analyst Susan Cooper, who takes up her first spy-mission, after the disappearance of her partner Bradley Fine (Jude Law).The actress, who was required to be completely invested in her character, says, “When I read the script I felt that if Susan could do it, so could I. When my daughters see this movie, I want them to see how Susan came in and saved the day and that heroes don’t only have to be men.” About her male co-stars, she adds, “Jason (Statham) and Jude are fantastic. So glamorous and tough, but let’s be honest, they’re the bimbos of the film, and I just love it.”READ: I want my clothes to empower women: Melissa McCarthy The film that is set in Rome, Paris and Budapest features Bollywood actress Nargis Fakhri too and the duo have a few fight sequences as well.
