As an actor we need to have the ability to act in almost every condition, no matter what the situation is. For Zayed Khan, a well known Bollywood actor, shooting underwater for his next movie called Blue isno’t something new anymore. However, when he had to swim around sharks, that was a very big challenge for him. “Just the idea of swimming around with these unpredictable beasts (sharks) was difficult. We always had our trainers and divers around.”
Blue is an adventure movie that taken in the Bahamas and Thailand. With Anthony D’Souza as the director and starred by Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif, Blue is made with Rs.1.29 billion budget.
Not only that, the movie is the first Bollywood movie that have been extensively shot underwater with a screen time of 20-25 minutes and with real sharks, almost 40 in number.
Zayed then applauded the stuntmen, who bravingly accompanied the actors under water and made sure that the shooting goes on smoothly.
“The stuntmen made it look so easy. They have a way of dealing with fear. There were times when they first made me touch the sharks and slowly got me to do the fight sequences. But it was all done very carefully.” Blue which produced by Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd will be aired May 29 next year.
