“There was a stunt in Angare where I jumped from a seven-floor building. There was a road in the middle, but only one lane, and on the other side there was another building. So I had to jump from the seventh to the fourth floor. During that time, my director ran away,” Akshay recalled.

He further added, “Mahesh Bhatt was my director and he ran away before I could do the stunt. He said, ‘Don’t want to see him die, he will die.‘ (He said, ‘I don’t want to see, he’s going to die’). He left, so I did that shot without my director.

Akshay Kumar has accepted this many times he likes to do his own stunts Instead of using body double.

he told immortal light“Stunts are very risky, even life-threatening. But mostly, I’d like to give my audience the real thing. We run, we fall, we stumble. This is important. I don’t want my audience to be deceived and give them what they need. The fear is always there, but the stunts that we do, we make sure that they are quite safe. Even though you are jumping off this stool, you should do all the safety checks. You must know how to get off. Similarly, it is important that whenever we do this, we ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force is performing well at the box office. It also stars Veer Pahriya, Sara Ali Khan and Sharad Kelkar in lead roles.
