Sanjay Dutt remembers his first shot for debut film Rocky: "When I did that everyone was silent and I wanted to cry"

Sanjay Dutt is one of a kind actor. Having worked in the industry for 3 decades he has pulled off some huge feats that many can only dream off. The actor so far has had one movie release this year and is gearing up for multiple more and has now opened up on performing his own stunts in his movies.

On the sets of a reality show, Sanjay Dutt was asked about Rocky being his first film and how was his experience, here is what the actor shared, "I was nervous. I was a newcomer, think about the kind of pressure that was in me. The shooting was in Kashmir and my first shot was to scream and jump, shouting 'help'. Mr. Suresh was there and he didn't think I could pull off the stunt in one go. I assured him I can, saying, yes Suresh uncle and he replied saying not to refer to him as uncle here, here he was Master Suresh. I looked at my dad and he told me look at him and here what he was saying. There were around 50 to 60 people there and I was very nervous. First shot of my life, lights, sound, camera everything is ready to go. I had to yell 'help' and jump. When I did that everyone was silent and I wanted to cry thinking what has happened, no one was saying anything. After a brief pause Mr. Suresh said done and started clapping."

Opening up on performing his stunts in his debut film, Rocky, he shared, "I had to learn to ride a bike to perform all those stunts. I have done all my stunts myself. All the heroes of that time had this thing where they all wanted to do their own stunt. Be it going through a glass or to ride, fall, etc. I have jumped from 65 feet, there were boxes there (no airbags)."

When filmmaker Anurag Basu and others praised him and said that own stunt performing actors is what is missing in present day, Sanjay smiled and said "Will bring that back".

It is no surprise that Sanjay Dutt is a great action star. It is no mean feat to have performed all those dangers stunts himself that we saw onscreen. From the glimpse of what is to come, KGF Chapter 2 teasers have given a further look of what is to come as he can be seen performing some serious moves in them as well. The actor has always made it clear that he does not like to use a body double and prefers to do his own stunts.

'Toolsidas Junior', 'Shamshera' and the much-awaited 'KGF Chapter 2' complete the envious lineup of Sanjay Dutt.
