Girish Kumar- first Surf sequence in Bollywood

Pretty interesting considering it's never EVER been done by an actor before. His first film Vastavaiya with Shruti Hassan. He was trained by international surfing expert Christopher Bryan.

For the first appearance of Girish in Ramaiya Vastavaiya, director Prabhu Deva and cinematographer Kiran Deohans were planning a special introductory scene which is completely new to Bollywood. Marking his first ever appearance on the big screen, Girish made a dare devilish surfing sequence that hasn't been attempted in films so far. International surfing expert Christopher Bryan from Hawaii,USA was given the charge of the underwater sequences with Girish, which were shot in Australia. Girish was trained at Mangalore for this.

Due to his young looks, Prabhu Deva had to reject three renowned Bollywood actresses who were opted for Ramaiya Vastavaiya, namely, Katrina Kaif, Genelia D'Souza and Parineeti Chopra. Shruti Hassan was finally signed for the role as she looked the most compatible.

👏👏

man, he looks so much like his dad...😆
