Interestingly, the first time Koli tried archery was during the promotion of Wastelanders. The actor explains that it was never a skill set she had to master before, and in addition to that, she has never been athletic. “I am different from Ash. [My character] wants to leave the house and do things. I, on the other hand, would love to just stay at home with my books. However, it was exciting to voice-act action. Of course, at first, it was awkward because you were standing in a studio with headphones, in sweatpants, and a t-shirt, [trying to pull off] a stunt. Mantra kept telling me to put my body into motion. I didn’t even know how to throw a punch. I am the last person you should pick in a fight or as a protector. My director got me to understand where Ash comes from, her emotions, and what changed her. He told me, ‘I don’t want you to become a good fighter. I want you to become as vulnerable as she is and see how you naturally react.’” Had this been happening visually, I would be prepping for months before the actual shoot,” shares Koli.
