Akshay Kumar performs high-octane stunt, ends up injured | VIDEO
Mumbai: Bollywood action superstar Akshay Kumar is back in the spotlight, and this time it’s for both his daredevil stunts and a small mishap on the sets of his upcoming horror comedy Bhooth Bangla.
A behind-the-scenes video shows Akshay performing a high-octane jump kick mid-air, a stunt sequence that went slightly off track as he lost balance while landing and hurt himself. Known for doing his own stunts, Akshay continues to uphold his reputation for authentic action.
The actor recently reiterated his opposition to the use of VFX and AI in stunts, stating it dilutes the thrill and makes action look artificial. “Performing real stunts lets audiences truly feel the effort and authenticity,” Akshay said.
Star-studded cast & new release date
The film also stars Paresh Rawal, Asrani, Rajpal Yadav and Wamiqa Gabbi.
Co-producer Ektaa Kapoor shared on Instagram that the shift was to accommodate the exceptional performance of Ranveer Singh’s ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’, ensuring both films receive their due attention. Her post read, “After a collective call with our distributors and the exhibitors, we have decided on a new release date for ‘Bhooth Bangla’, 16 April, with the first show starting at 9 pm.
‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ performing exceptionally well is heartening news for our film industry and the exhibitors feel that this shift will allow both films the space, focus and attention they deserve. The ‘Bhooth Bangla’ team looks forward to welcoming you in cinemas on April 16, 9 pm onwards.”
The film is presented by Balaji Motion Pictures, a division of Balaji Telefilms Ltd, in association with Cape of Good Films, and is produced by Akshay Kumar, Shobha Kapoor, and Ektaa R Kapoor. Directed by Priyadarshan, the film promises a mix of thrills, laughs, and authentic stunts, making it one of the most anticipated releases this month.
