Small screen actress Gurdeep Kohli is looking forward to her big screen debut! She has bagged a cop's role in "Rowdy Rathore"and has even pulled off some stunts in the Akshay Kumar-starrer.

"'Rowdy Rathore' is my first film. People will get to see me in a very different role and look in 'Rowdy Rathore'. I play a lady cop," Gurdeep told IANS.

The movie, releasing Friday, is directed by Prabhu Deva and features Sonakshi Sinha in the female lead. It is being touted as Akshay's return to his master genre -- action, and Gurdeep is excited as it gave her an opportunity to try her hand at some stunts as well.
