Some stunts are there, which you should not try and do it. They are very risky. That’s where you take VFX’s help. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan also has several stunts that we have done. At some places, VFX effects are used and stunts doubles are used. These stunts are very risky, life threatening too. But mostly I would like to give my audience the real stuff. You will see blasts. We go through the blast ourselves. We go through running, we fall, we tumble. That is important. I don’t want my audience to be cheated and give them what they require."

Akshay sir has done daring baazi on top of a plane. I wish I could learn it from him."
