Safety is not great in Bollywood, want insurance for stuntmen: Akshay

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has raised a concern that has been bothering stuntmen for a very long time now. There are hundreds of stuntmen in the industry who risk their lives to perform the most outrageous of stunts for the camera.

But unlike in other film industries like Hollywood, where insurance is mandatory, the Hindi film industry does no provide insurance for stuntmen.

“Safety is not great here. Now finally we have ambulance and doctors on the sets for the stuntman and the cast and crew. It’s surprising that there are no insurance for stuntman in Bollywood, so we are all trying to get an insurance done for stuntman” Akshay said during a promotional event for his upcoming comedy film ‘Housefull 3’.

Akshay has had a good year so far with the success of ‘Airlift’ in January this year. He awaits the release of ‘Housefull 3’ and ‘Rustom’.

  • He has the great heart. No one like his in Bollywood, coz he thinks for all ( specially stuntman ) who takes a real risk to lost his life.
    really agree with his thought.
    Hats off sir.

  • Heard that the magical trio ( Akshay- Paresh- Suniel ) of Hera Pheri is returning for its 3rd Part Hera Pheri 3.

    Now its can call be real Hera Pheri 3.
    No one can imagine HF3 Without Real Raju-Shyam-Babu Bhaiya.

    News of the month.

  • Akshay Kumar is absolutely right
    Stuntmen are the real heroes dey must get all the necessary wing and insurance is must.

  • @Nipun: You are not the one who will decide if a trailer is bad or good.
    It has got many more likes on YouTube than dislikes!

    Moreover,I have noticed the reaction of audience in theatre when HF3 trailer was played during Baaghi and today while Sarbjit too.Many were enjoying and cheering.

    I know you have never liked a comedy movie in your life and HF3 kind of films are not made for intellectuals.
    You should better watch Udta Punjab and hope it collects half of HF 3.
    Thanks

  • look the comment of fasal kerala,how he can hate other superstars like this.akshay said about a serious issue and this idiot troll that coment also.
    we accept any star if he do great job,if its srk,sallu or anyother,but this man hate all actors exept his global queen.
    indicine,pls avoid the kerala tag from his name,becuse users in indicine also hate my state because of his idiot comments.

  • @sunny jokerholic:
    And the producers also need insurance who make movies with flopy Kumar…LOL.

    @fasal kelawala:
    Just like BHAGODA’s content rich billu2… Hahaha.

  • @Thug… Atleat SRK is not fooling audiences with fake manipulate collection For box office success..

    #Fasal kerala

  • Well said @Vish

    really he is take fan (less than 85 cr) collection seriously.

    I m not hater of srk. but when I looks his comments. i really think.
    he( fasal kerala ) is going through a mental phase.

  • He wasnt commercialy successful actor befor 2007 even now ppl call him a 71cr actor only 2007 is luck for him

  • @Fasal kerala

    You are also fooling Indicine users right? Here is the proof:-

    Fasal : FAN will cross 200 cr domestic
    Reality : Not even 190 cr WORLDWIDE and 84 cr INDIA LOL! (Indicine users fooled by Fasal)

    Fasal : I will leave Indicine if FAN fails to cross 100cr in India and will comeback only when Raees is released
    Reality : FAN failed to cross 90cr (let alone 100) and Fasal Kerala is still active in Indicine (Indicine users again fooled by Fasal)

    NB: I don’t know whether Raees is released in Pluto (where Fasal lives) and may be that is why he is back in Indicine :P

    I would like to give a small suggestion too…you should change your name to Fasal Pluto..thats sounds more powerful and you can also release Kerala state from its agony :P
