Hrithik Roshan performs death-defying stunts for 'Krrish"

  • IndiaGlitz, [Monday,May 01 2006]

Believe it or not, Hrithik Roshan has performed all the breath-taking stunts in FilmKraft's and Rakesh Roshan's upcoming blockbuster KRRISH himself, without use of duplicates.

The dare-devilry includes scenes of bungee-jumping, plunging into infernos, leaping across slippery rocks on wild-flowing rivulets, scaling walls, trapezing etc. The thrills have been conceived and co-ordinated by Tony Ching Siu of Hongkong and Sham Kaushal.

On several occasions, during rehearsals for these death-defying feats, Hrithik bruised himself, but providentally none during the actual takes. Written, produced and directed by Rakesh Roshan, the film has, besides Hrithik, Rekha, Priyanka Chopra, Manine De, Hemant Pande, Naseerudin Shah etc.

It has music by Rajesh Roshan, special effects by Mark Kolbe and Craig Mumma of Hollywood, etc. The film is slated for release in June.
