Stuntman Singh

Akshay Kumar’s in the news for performing yet another stunt that Hollywood pulled off ten million light years ago in a galaxy far far away. Pichli baar shark attack se bal bal bache, but this time, he managed to complete the stunt without injuring himself in the process. It involved him riding a jet-ski off a ramp and through a stationary helicopter, in a James Bond style sequence for Singh Is Kinng.
The stunt is said to be the most expensive one in the history of Indian cinema, overshadowing such mothers of all action movies that Bollywood regularly dishes out like Kuch Kuch Hota Hain and Kismat Konnection. So it looks like Akshay is making the most of his limited talents and sticking to cheesy action flicks in which all he has to do is jump around like a rabid monkey.
Word on the street is that Danny Baldwin(The Last Samurai) has been hired to direct the action sequences for the movie. Maybe that’s why nothing went wrong this time. If it were up to our taporis, Akshay would be floating out into sea while the cast and crew played bagpipes and thought up their alibis.
