The heart and hard work behind Rohit Shetty’s terrific action

When it comes to action involving cars, it doesn’t get any better than Rohit Shetty in Bollywood. The director has his very own unique style of filming his famous car sequences, but to make his vision look realistic on the big screen, hundreds of people put their life at risk.

“I wanted the scale (of Dilwale) to be much much bigger this time. I created a team where I had my stunt drivers, my stunt team, the Bulgarian team, the South African team.. they all came together for Dilwale. That’s how it all started”

“To bring my vision to the big screen, 150-200 people put their life at risk. Before every shot, there are two sounds. One of the ambulance starting and the other is fire brigade. If there is some mishap, they will reach there to save that man.. I want to show that.”

“People ask me quite often.. why do you blow up cars so often. It is sad. I used to get angry and feel sad. What my entire team goes through, no one thinks about that. It is very sad..”

“It’s not like we purchase the car, make a person sit inside and blow it up.. We work on the car, day and night, to prepare it for the scene. We prepare it so that, the stunt man who sits inside the car, his life is in risk. Anything can happen to him.. ”

“When you have your people.. all you need is support from him (god). I just tell him.. see to it that everything goes right. I have done my bit, you take care of the rest.. he always takes care of me and my stunt team”

For the rest of the video, several unimaginably dangerous scenes are shown. Rohit gets emotional as he talks about his stuntman getting his 2 year old son to the sets of the film..  before performing a car stunt that puts his life at risk.
