New Document

Akshay Kumar loves to do his own stunts, and loves to do some exciting ones too. That's why his action scenes in Singh Is Kinng is quite over-the-top, as he jumps from one elevator to another, and from a jet ski into a flying helicopter!

The man responsible for these daring stunts is Australian stunt director Danny Baldwin, who is a part of this film.

Danny has worked with Tom Cruise in The Last Samurai and Michael Douglas in The Ghost And The Darkness earlier.


How did you happen to do the stunts for Singh is Kinng?

[Producer] Vipul Shah approached me. I believe they had approached many others too but I was selected. This is my first Indian film.

How has the experience been working with Indian cast and crew?

It was a very uniqueexperience. I came to India for a few days to shoot. It was my firstvisit to India. Indian stars are very talented, unlike Hollywoodactors.

How was it working with Akshay Kumar, and making him do your stunts?

He is very talented. It wasdifficult to hold him back from doing stunts. He was excited about allthe stunts. I had stunt doubles for him but he would always want to doit himself.

What kind of stunts have you directed in this film?

They are hard core, Hollywood kind of stunts. A lot of action can be expected from the film.
