According to an IANS report, Jacqueline has been filming action sequences in Abu Dhabi for a week now. The scenes reportedly demand the actress to perform a stylised action and Mix Martial Art techniques involving a lot of kicks and punches. She has been prepping for two hours daily to master her action moves.

In the other news, Jacqueline Fernandez has been topping the trends list for the revamped version of Ek Do Teen for upcoming film Baaghi 2. The revised version of the song has been slammed by a certain section of social media in addition to Tezaab director N Chandra, who directed Madhuri Dixit's song, choreographed by Saroj Khan. He called it "crass." But Jacqueline's Race 3 co-stars Salman Khan and Anil Kapoor tweeted for the dance number and said that it's "difficult to match Madhuri Dixit" and that Jacqueline's effort was "exceptional."
