We all know our khiladi number one Akshay Kumar performs his stunts on own and doesn’t bother to perform some death defying stunts. Such stunts or even more dangerous than ever we soon going to see with Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd’s Blue. Blue is most expensive film in Bollywood till date. And every star of it has added beauty to it by doing death defying stunts in it.
For instant Akshay had played with explosive fire in the depths of the oceans. For a particular scene explosion has to takes place over the water where the wild ocean wind could have make it more dangerous. 50 pounds of black powder, 100 gallons of propane in 40 mortars and 100 gallons of flammable liquid was used to make the explosion. Explaining about the making of scene, the underwater cinematographer, Pete Zuccarini said, “We wanted the fire from the blast to be large enough that it would appear impossible for Akshay to swim out from under it. James Bomalick, the action director, had his special effects crew make a line of mortar canons along the side of a large work boat; it reminded me of a pirate ship armed to wreak havoc!”
In that underwater fight scene, Akshay loses his oxygen tank and goggles too after his boat explode. He is trying to come up to surface through the explosion without goggles on his eyes. Recalling about the scene Pete says, “If something went wrong his only option would be to swim down towards the sea floor to his safety team to get more air. In training for the film Akshay had developed exceptional lung capacity, I was very confident that he could swim the full length of the fire blast to give us the great shot.”
Moreover to the dangerous situation, the team found debris from the explosion coming down to hurt the actor. The cinematographer managed to miss one of it who was also swimming underwater.
Pete said, “I started to see heavy objects falling around our actor and realised there was something wrong. The actual mortar canons, which weigh about 60 kilos, were falling in. It was quite surreal because the canons were splashing through the fire and twirling down upon us. We had to get everyone under the boat and guide Akshay. Everyone moved quickly, swam, turned, jerked, pushed, and pulled one another at just the right times to avoid contact with the hot heavy falling debris. Moments like this are both terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. I can only say that by the grace of powers greater than me no one was injured that day and we got the shot.”
Blue, the movie which promises breath taking performances from actors like Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Zayed Khan, Lara Dutta, Rahul Dev is releasing today. We will also have glimpse of Katrina Kaif in a special appearance.
