Nadiadwala’s ‘Kick’ to have ‘Transporter’ style action
MUMBAI: Everyone knows of Salman Khan’s penchant to do larger-than-life action sequences in films such as Wanted and Dabangg.
The actor is now set to do stunts similar to that of Jason Statham‘s Transporter series in his upcoming film Kick directed by Shirish Kunder. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala has roped in a stunt coordinator who has worked with Statham in his films.
According to media reports, Philip Guegan – who coordinated the action in the first Transporter film – is believed to have been brought on board as the stunt coordinator for the movie.
It is learnt that this idea was suggested by Sajid Nadiadwala himself. From the time the producer acquired the rights to remake the south Indian hit Kick in Hindi with Khan, he has been thinking of ways to not only make it differently but also take it to another level as far as the action sequences are concerned.
The whole idea was to have more realistic, raw and hardcore action so that the viewer can comprehend what the baddies actually feel when Khan kicks or punches them.
