Who is behind Krrish's superstunts?
No it's not just Tony Ching or the computer, but also our own action director from Bollywood, Shyam Kaushal. The guy has been in this industry for the last 15 years (Lakshya, Netaji, Fiza, Pinjar, etc) and besides Krrish, next on his list of releases, is an awesome combination of Farhan Akhtar and Riteish Sidhwani's Don, Yash Raj Films' Kabul Express and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya. But Kaushal, who has also masterminded the circus fire action sequence with Tony Ching in Krrish, prefers to remain modest, giving Rakesh Roshan all the credit. "He had the guts to visualise the sequences that he had conceived. Execution comes later. " Kaushal is upset at rumours today about computer-generated action sequences in Krrish. "Only the wire removal scenes are CG (computer graphics). Except that not one shot has been CG, but all shot on location. It took us 10 days to shoot that one circus scene at Mumbai at the Bombay Circus and it was frightening with so many gas cylinders, children and flammable material lying around, but we it was a challenge that we managed to execute our stunts without errors." A job well done, it was.
