Vishnuvardhan’s daredevil brother

May 9, 2008, 18:54

Director Vishnuvardhan’s brother, Krishna, making his debut with Ali Baba performed an amazing stunt without knowing it. He surprised the crew and everyone watching. The scene he was required to do takes place on a busy highway, with vehicles whizzing from both sides. The character Krishna plays had to leap across a lorry that was coming from one side and then leap over a jeep coming from the other side. Krishna jumped - and crossed the lorry and the jeep at the same time! The stunned cameraman pointed this out to the director, and all present at the shooting applauded Krishna’s courage and dexterity.
