Vidyut Jamwal, the real life action hero saves stuntman’s life

Bollywood’s hottest newcomer Vidyut Jamwal who has been riding high post the success ofCommandohas made it to headlines once again with his act of bravery. The reel-life action hero came into full force in real life too when he saved the life of a stuntman while shooting an action sequence for Tigmanshu Dhulia’sBullet Raja. He was fighting for a stunt in the movie with one of the fighters at a height, over a deep valley.

As an eyewitness reported, "After the first take of the sequence was done, they were asked to do another take... the stuntman had to stand at a certain angle. While the second shot was underway, the stuntman accidentally slipped and started rolling down. Without thinking about anything, Vidyut instinctively jumped off to save him.” The source added further that the actor injured himself in the course of the action, "Given his martial arts ability and his agility, Vidyut managed to get a hold on him and prevented the fall from being fatal.”

The actor has earned respect from his team members as it is a very rare view that an actor does something so bold on the sets. According to producer Rahul Mittra, "Both Tigmanshu and I feel that Vidyut is an action star not only onscreen but from within as well. The way he salvaged the situation by saving the stuntman speaks volumes about his true character. He'll go a long way.” The two-film-old Vidyut has already received accolades for his skills, shown inForceandCommando.
