"I like Karisma Kapoor too. But recently I read Waheeda Rehman's autobiography and I learnt a lot from her experiences that she penned down in her book," she added.

Zoa, who was last seen in "Always Kabhi Kabhi", which released in 2011, is excited about her role in "Bhaag Johnny".

"My role Taniya is very interesting, I did a lot of intense scenes as well as action too, it's a mature role and I must say my director Shivam Nair and co-star Kunal Khemu helped me a lot," she said.

"Kunal is my senior so I used to follow how he performs action scenes," she added.

"Bhaag Johnny" directed by Shivam Nair also stars Zoa Morani, Mandana Karimi and Manasi Scott among others.

The film is scheduled to release on September 25.
