Thursday, 11th Sept 2014, 2:52 PM IST While shooting for the film ‘Bang Bang’, Hrithik Roshan had hurt himself because of which the actor had to undergo a brain surgery last year.But, Hrithik was back on the sets of the film with high spirits. Siddharth Anand, the director of ‘Bang Bang’ recollects that Hrithik just told him, “Just tell me what you want and how you want it done." "Andy Armstrong, our action director who has Hollywood biggies like ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ and ‘Thor’ to his credit, pointed out that Hrithik and Tom Cruise are alike in that they are keen on doing their own stunts. We wasted a lot of money on hiring doubles to standby," Siddharth said. One of the most difficult stunts that Hrithik performed after the surgery was where he was on jetskies and was pulled by a plane. The shooting of the scene was done in Prague. Talking about the stunt, Siddharth said, "Hrithik trained for four days, before the cameras rolled. He learnt to jetski with a speed boat pulling him along first. Then, an antiquated plane was brought in with an experienced pilot at the controls, so that it could be slowed down and speeded up at will. It was risky but worth the effort. The sequence is not out in the teaser yet." Hrithik shared his experience of doing the scene and said, "In ‘Bang Bang’ I have pushed myself to the extreme. This sequence called for mental and physical tenacity. The rush that I experienced while training and executing the sequence was out of the world. I was hooked to a sea plane while I did the stunt. I had trained non-stop to even attempt the sequence." ‘Bang Bang’ is the remake of Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz starrer ‘Knight And Day’ and it also stars Katrina Kaif as the female lead. |
