Sallu and Jackie share trainers
For the action sequences in Bhushan Kumar's Ready, Salman Khan will train under Jackie's Around The World in 80 Days action master
Post Dabangg, it seems, Sallu is working towards building an action hero image with an international edge. Jackie Chan
For starters, the actor will train under Hollywood action master Philippe Guegan (of Rush Hour 3 fame) for Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick. And now, for his stuntman image in Bhushan Kumar's Ready too, Sallu intends to go global.
Recently, Bhushan Kumar flew in top action director Seelum Pradip (popularly known as Nung in the film industry) to train Salman for Ready. And mind you, Nung is no riffraff.
Jackie Chan trained under him for Around The World in 80 Days. Bhushan says, "I have appointed Nung as the action director for Ready. The film's second schedule is in Bangkok in February. Nung will again join us there."
It turns out that the idea to get Nung was Salman's. Says Bhushan, "Salman loved the soft drink TV commercial which Nung shot with Akshay Kumar recently."
Of late, Nung has been making a lot of trips to Salman's house, Galaxy Apartments in Bandra. Under Nung's tutelage, Salman will learn how to perform dangerous and complicated stunts in Ready.
Says a source, "Salman is a very sincere student when it comes to learning stunts. Nung and Salman get along marvelously and that has just made Nung's job easier."
Don't pick a panga with Sallu, Nung!
