Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla, recently suffered an injury while performing a high-octane stunt for the film. Known for doing his own action sequences, the actor was seen executing an intense stunt in a behind-the-scenes video shared by the makers.
In the clip, Akshay attempts a dramatic mid-air jump kick as part of the sequence. However, things took an unexpected turn when he lost his balance while landing and ended up falling, injuring himself in the process. Despite the mishap, the incident highlights his commitment to performing real stunts rather than relying on body doubles or visual effects.
The actor has often expressed his preference for authenticity in action scenes. He believes that excessive use of VFX and AI takes away the thrill and realism, making sequences look artificial. Akshay has maintained that performing stunts himself allows the audience to connect better with the effort and intensity involved.
Bhooth Bangla, directed by Priyadarshan, marks yet another collaboration between the filmmaker and Akshay Kumar. The film also features actors like Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Wamiqa Gabbi in key roles.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time the actor has taken on physically demanding stunts for the film. Reports earlier suggested that he performed a challenging sequence in a single take, further proving his dedication to action-driven roles.
While the fall resulted in an injury, it also underlines Akshay Kumar’s fearless approach and hands-on attitude when it comes to action scenes—something that continues to set him apart in the industry.
