NEW DELHI, April 23 -- After the makers of Rowdy Rathore failed to convince Akshay Kumar to use a body double for risky sequences in Prabhu Deva's stuntladen film, they insured the actor for a record sum, tipped to be R50 crore. Akshay is said to have put his foot down and refused to use professional stunt artists, as it goes against his image of an 'action-hero'.
"Right at the start, when Prabhu Deva narrated the script, Akshay was kicked about the raw action scenes. But everyone was worried about him doing the scenes himself, considering they were a bit dangerous. And since we all know how much Akshay loves action, we thought of insuring him at a heavy premium even before the film started. We knew he'd insist on doing most of the stunts personally, so we're happy that nothing tragic happened during the shoot," says an insider from the movie's unit.
