Think Genelia Deshmukh, and you immediately think of her bubbly roles. But producer Deepak Mukut says that will change with Gunmaaster G9, led by Emraan Hashmi and Genelia. The action entertainer, which went on floors in Mumbai in August, will see the leading lady in a fierce avatar as she stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Hashmi and takes on baddies.

“Genelia is the surprise element of the movie,” starts Mukut, before divulging how the actor’s husband Riteish Deshmukh played a role in her signing the movie. “Riteish, who is an actor and director himself, told her she must do the film. Ghar ki bahu khana pakati hai, but if gangsters come home, what will she do? Here, she is not your sweet, docile homemaker. When her family is harmed, she can become Durga too. So, we’ll get to see her doing plenty of action.”
