MumbaI: Actor Ishaan Khatter has shot the action sequences for the climax of Khaali Peeli without any cables or stunt doubles.
Film's action director Parvez Shaikh said: "Ishaan did all the stunts himself, without any cables or harness. Ishaan expressed the wish to do the stunts himself, and I agreed.
"We were shooting for a chase sequence on a bridge, and Ishaan had to drive his taxi, stop at a point, come out and do a fight scene. Even though a taxi doesn't match the speed and technology of latest cars, Ishaan did it perfectly."
A source reveals that Ishaan shot action sequences for the climax of the Maqbool Khan directorial for five days straight.
