Akshay performs the stunt for 8 X 10

Akshay Kumar is back on the action front. After jumping from tall buildings, cars and elevators, Akshay jumped off a cliff from a height of around 160 feet for Percept Picture Company's 8 X 10.

Director of 8 X 10, Nagesh Kukunoor said, 'This is the first time that I am doing an action film and when you have someone like Akshay, things are easier. There are a couple of breathtaking action sequences in the film. This particular sequence was earlier supposed to be shot in Canada during our first schedule.

The scene required Akshay to sprint from a long distance and jump into the water. Though we did some rehearsals with a duplicate, the fall was done by him in one take and it was amazing. Though we all freaked out, Akshay was absolutely cool about it.'

When we asked Akshay about the stunt, he just smiled and said, 'I love doing action scenes and that's about it.'

The shooting is currently on in Moil Farm in Carbo.
