AKSHAYA KUMAR-THE DARE DEVIL

Akshay risking health for action IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, February 09, 2010]

…that’s why we call him Stunt King; no matter how serious the risk is or however fatal it might be… Khiladi Kumar Akshay is always a game for action stunts. Hardly he had touched the Indian grounds after a trip to Germany, Akki said to have immediately hopped on to the sets of ‘Action Replayy’. What’s in that you ask? Arre, the actor in fact had been in Germany to take on a hydrotherapy course to treat his ailing back. And the day when he landed in the city, Akshay took on the shooting schedule which includes risky action stunts. Sources found that Akki is currently shooting high-voltage action sequence on bikes with Rannvijay. Everyone in the unit were said to be quite apprehensive about him performing the stunts. However, Akshay not only refused to use a body double but also has been relentlessly pushing himself for the action scenes. The action scenes involve Akshay doing a chase sequence by jumping from one speeding bike to another. Action Replayy’s director Vipul Shah however is hovering over the actor like a concerned mom, sources revealed. He is said to be taking special care of Akshay as he does not want any situation where his back injury has even the slightest chance of aggravating further. Stunts are all fine, but Akshayji thoda dyaan rakhna; after all health ka mammla hai!
