Zareen Khan, who will soon be seen performing action stunts in her upcoming film One Day, says she has always been a tomboy.

"I'd love to do action films and that is the reason I took up this role because people have seen a very different side of me. I am playing a police officer in One Day. I have never done any of this. People have never seen me in something like this, they have only seen me in a glamorous avatar and looking hot," the actor says.

Talking about the film, the Hate Story 2 actor says, "I am excited about it because a lot of people don't really know the real me and I really want people to know this side of me. People have this impression of me as this beautiful bimbette and a dumb person."

The actor, who has mostly portrayed a girl-next-door and bold characters on screen, says it will be a change of image. "It's going to be a 360 degree change from that and of course action is something I always wanted to do. So here's my chance," she adds.

The film, which also stars Anupam Kher, will be directed by Ashok Nanda and will go on floors by mid-February.
