These Bollywood action queens are here to break the bones of enemies and bust myths

The action genre in Indian cinema has long been dominated by male heroes, but that is now changing rapidly. A powerful wave of female actors is gearing up to break the bones of enemies, bust myths and bring a fresh adrenaline rush to the big and small screens. From web series to theatre releases, the lineup of women leading action-packed stories is not only diverse but also game-changing.

Deepika Padukone in AA22xA6

Coded by AA22xA6, Deepika Padukone enters a new cinematic territory in this futuristic action film, in which she reportedly has a sci-fi and stunt-packed role. Having already showcased her flair for action in Pathan and Fighter, Deepika is now venturing into edgier, more experimental territory, confirming her mettle as a bona-fide action star.

Bhumi Pednekar in Daldal 

Known for her strong performances in socially-charged dramas, Bhumi Pednekar is all set to delve into the world of crime and conflict in Swamp. The Amazon series casts her as a woman who ventures into dark, murky territory, both literally and figuratively. Expect high-stakes action, psychological depth, and a story that demands Bhumi's distinctive intensity.

Taapsee Pannu in Gandhari

Taapsee is no stranger to physically strong roles, but in Gandhari, she promises to push her limits. Inspired by myth and infused with modern-day intensity and anger, her character is reportedly inspired by the mystical power of the Mahabharata character and transforms it into a tale of vengeance, with a twist. If anyone can carry a high-stakes action thriller based on emotions, it's Taapsee.

Saiyaami Kher in Special Ops 2

A triathlete in real life too, Saiyami Kher brings authentic athleticism and grit to her role in the latest season of Special Ops. With real-life physical preparation including MMA and combat training, Saiyami's presence lends credibility to the female power of the spy thriller. Her transformation signals a serious commitment to redefining female-led action.

Vaani Kapoor in Mandala Murders

In Mandala Murders, Vaani Kapoor steps into the murky world of serial crimes and intelligence investigations. Her action model is grounded, smooth and intense as it moves away from the glamour and dives into dark thrills. This could mark a turning point in Vaani's career, showcasing her in a gritty, physically demanding avatar.

Kiara Advani in War 2:
Joining the renowned and iconic YRF spy universe, Kiara Advani is expected to play much more than just a love interest in War 2.

Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh in Alpha

Headed by YRF's female-led spy project, 'Alpha' promises to be a full-throttle actioner with Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh in the lead.
