Jacqueline in a still from Kick

- The 28-year-old Sri Lankan beauty had to look like a college girl in the film and she said, During Race 2, I had to thin down completely because there were a lot of action scenes in it. For this film, I was asked to gain weight as I am playing a college girl."
- "I could not afford to have the perfect zero size body. I was 51 kg and now I am 56 kg for Kick and I am very happy with my body," she added.
- Post the medium budget psychological thriller Murder 2, this is Jacqueline's first big film in terms of budget and cast. She is paired with none other than Salman Khan in the movie which will release on July 25.
- Her last releases Race 2 and Housefull 2 were films with multiple stars.
- When asked if this brought any pressure on her, she said, "There was a lot of pressure, but my main concern was not to disappoint Sajid Nadiadwala. He must have seen something in me that he offered me the film. When he showed confidence in me, I didn't want to disappoint him."
- Kick is also important for producer Sajid Nadiadwala as he embarks on a new journey with the action drama - it marks his debut as a director.
- Jacqueline praises Salman's "helping nature".
- "He is not the kind of a person who will leave you mid-way. It's a pleasure to work with him," she added.
