What happens when a Vishal Bhardwaj and Vikramaditya Motwane heroine steps into Atlee’s cinematic world? A whole lot of learning. Wamiqa Gabbi, who is shooting for Atlee’s production—reportedly titled Baby John—in Kochi, is enjoying picking up the larger-than-life quality associated with his movies. “That swag you see in Atlee sir’s films is imbibed and learnt, then mirrored on screen. This film nurtures a different side of me as an actor. The aura of a commercial, mainstream actor is different. At this point, I’m looking to be surprised and changed as a person. This film is doing that for me,” she says.
