Shahid Kapoor performs his own stunts

16th July 2013
'Kaminey' left no one in doubt over Shahid Kapoor's abilities in the action genre. This time around, the actor will be seen performing some interesting stunts in 'Phata Poster Nikla Hero' directed by Rajkumar Santoshi.
 
The first scene of the film, Shahid's introductory scene required him to tear the poster of Santoshi's last film 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahaani', while jumping off a high storey building. (Watch Video)
 
While the actor was advised to use a stunt double for the shot, given the risk it involved, Shahid insisted on doing the scene himself, since he felt it would seem more authentic and believable.
 
Says a source, "Shahid Kapoor's introductory scene in 'Phata Poster' is extremely dynamic and fitting to the title of the movie. He performed the stunt himself minus a body double and after a couple of takes the scene was successfully canned. Luckily barring a few scratches he managed it without any injuries".
 
Starring Shahid Kapoor and Ileana Dcruz, the film is scheduled to release 20th September 2013.
