Ranbir’s dangerous stunt

He performed an action scene all by himself for ‘Barfee’

Ranbir Kapoor

Ranbir Kapoor has wowed critics time and again with stellar performances in films like ‘Rockstar’, ‘Rajneeti’, ‘Wake Up Sid’ and others. His next much-awaited film is Anurag Basu’s ‘Barfee’ where he reportedly plays a handicapped person. But sources said recently Ranbir did something that surprised all those present on the sets – he carried out a dangerous stunt all by himself. Taking inspiration from Akshay Kumar, are you Ranbir?

The scene that was shot in Kolkata had Ranbir running from the police. It required him to do stunts on the rooftops of the city jumping from one to the other, with a gap of eight feet to 10 feet between them. Normally such scenes are performed by stuntmen and the makers had hired a body double for Ranbir too. But the young Kapoor, who was keen for some action, went ahead and did it himself. Needless to say, the entire unit was full of praises for the star.

‘Barfee’ which stars Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D'Cruz alongside Ranbir, is scheduled for a July release this year.
