Akshay s discipline over stunts is marvelling: Sayani

Mumbai Feb 21 (IANS) Actress Sayani Gupta finds action star Akshay Kumar s discipline over stunts marvelling.

Talking about one of the stunts in her latest release Jolly LLB 2 directed by Subhash Kapoor Sayani said in a statement: Once I saw the stunt person do the stunt I got very nervous. But I still wanted to do my stunts myself. I have a phobia of heights and when I had to jump off a 40-foot-high building it was not pretty at all. While we were rehearsing I had a very tough time to not contort my face or scream during the fall. Parvez Shaikh (action director) was trying to keep me calm and said Don t be scared . I was like I don t want to be scared. But do I really have a choice? That s when her co-star Akshay offered help. He gave me some simple tips which made it much simpler. I am grateful to him for being helpful calm and such a master of stunts. His discipline over stunts is marvelling. Thanks to him I could jump off the building with perfect calm as if I could do this in my sleep. Subhash sir was very pleased as a result she said. --IANS nn/dg
