Rohit Shetty has fast become a name synonymous with action, stunts and of course blowing up cars. In fact, his film boasts of some high-octane action sequences that always leave audience with a sense of wonder. But shooting for these sequences is no easy task and Shetty says that over the year he has done so many stunts he has lost count.
Interestingly, while talking about stunts, Rohit Shetty reveals some details about the action in his soon to release film Sooryavanshi starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif. Talking about the same he said, “In my latest movie Sooryavanshi, I have a bike stunt in which the stunt guy is from Bulgaria. The other for the car stunt is from Cape Town so that’s how they come together and shoot for me. We had a CGI shot with drifting, so they did it. The Guinness book of the world record for a topple is for Casino Royale. You will not believe the Bulgarian driver name Kaleem. He was shooting and did a 7 round, but the record is for eight topples, so if we had two more, we would have broken the world record for it.”
Further talking about his career he adds, “I have done more than 100 stunts with a car. We have blown up more than 200 vehicles. To be honest, I have even lost count of it. I also do a show called Fear Factor and because of that, what has happened to me is I love action. I have met the action teams worldwide, like how food lovers meet other food lovers who have the same taste of food or fashion, but when I was doing Fear Factor, I met a lot of action teams. At that point, I created my group, which is also from around the world. If there is some specific stunt I want to do or want some stunt guy to do it. I call them from Cape Town, Bulgaria, and multiple places like those and work together.”
As for the film Sooryavanshi that is directed by Rohit Shetty features Aksahy Kumar in the lead role. Said to a part of the cop universe the film is slated to release this Diwali.
