Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhatt, and Shilpa Shetty are Bollywood actresses who proved action-genre movies are no longer just for male actors

Bollywood has seen many woman-oriented roles in the last few years. But when it comes to taking action on screen, it is not an easy job. While there have been countless men who are famous for bringing the best action films to Bollywood, Now, action movies are no longer just a genre for male actors. It’s almost incredible how more and more actresses are pursuing action-packed roles.

​Here are five actresses whose action stance can give the men a run for their money.

​

Deepika Padukone, who has impressed audiences with her performances across different genres in her 15 years of career, is all set to take a daredevil stance again with Siddharth Anand's 'Fighter' with Hrithik Roshan. Apart from this, she will also star as Lady Singham in Rohit Shetty's 'Singham 3'.

​

Katrina Kaif, who was recently in Salman Khan's 'Tiger 3', proved herself once again as the solid performer that she is. From Ali Abbas Zafar's 'Tiger Zinda Hai', Kabir Khan's 'Ek Tha Tiger', and 'Phantom', the way she nailed her characters and stepped into action mode with ease speaks volumes about her acting splendour.

​

Global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas has done films across different genres, including comedy, romance, and drama. She has done some great action films like 'Mary Kom', 'Krrish 3', 'Drona', and 'Bajirao Mastani'. But it was only in 'Don 2' that we first saw her take on an impeccable action avatar.


​

Actress Shilpa Shetty, who has been a part of many action films, has never seen her doing the stunts and pulling off action sequences herself. Now, the 'Baazigar' actress is all set to play the first female cop in Rohit Shetty's cop verse. She will be seen as Officer Shetty in the Indian Police Force, released on Amazon Prime on January 19.
