Celina Jaitley Performed Daring Action Stunts

Celina Jaitley who is known for his skin showing acts rather than acting talent recently had a very death defying action stunt during the shooting of movie ‘Run Bhola Run’. Thus this image turn over act for Celina happened when her action director told that there an action sequence is in the movie to be acted next and her body double would perform it, however, Celina who as an NCC Cadet had rigorous training to her credit insisted on doing the act herself.

In this act she had to jump from a 10 story building and to her problem she had to perform that act in miniskirt instead of jeans. “Oh! She did an excellent job! These stunts can be very dangerous and it takes guts to perform them. In fact, there was a body double ready but Celina Jaitley was pretty excited. I think she is the first female artist to do such a dangerous stunt. The whole unit praised her after the shot was over,” as her action director said.

In the words of Celina, “My life that day totally depended on the entire action team as they were operating the cables from a crane on top of the 10-story building. I was still a bit nervous because this time I was jumping in a mini skirt and not military fatigues! The worst part was leaning towards the ground from the ledge of the building before the fall. The action director and his team were extremely motivating. I got major kicks out of it as extreme sports have always excited me.”So this is a great change in Celina’s Image.

It was a long icy gnawing emptiness when the pair which gave hits like Suneel Darshan’s Andaaz and climaxing in Abbas-Mustan’s Aitraaz stopped working with each other for reasons unknown. So deep was the cleft between the pair that Suneel Darshan had to scrap an Akshay-Priyanka starrer after a song featuring them.

This is another addition to the gestures of friendship between Aamir and Salman Khan. Salman is all praises and best wishes for Aamir’s ‘Ghajini’ so much so that he himself painted out two paintings of Aamir from ‘Ghajini’.

Suriya comments on Aamir

Suriya has hailed Aamir's Ghajini as being better than the Tamil original. "I always knew it would be better, " he said, "because it was a perfect platform for director Murugadoss to correct the mistakes he did in Tamil. He has not only corrected the flaws, but he has also bettered it. The climax scene was the perfect example. I loved the way he has built up the climax -- way different from Tamil.”

Speaking of Aamir Khan, he said:"I would say he did a fantastic job. Having said that, I don't even want a comparison with him. He is like a professor to me, and I am just a mere student. A student can never compare himself with his guru. The last two years or so have been a learning experience for me. When he said that he has never been part of a remake in his career and that he would do my role in Ghajini, I was humbled.

Over the two years, he kept discussing with me every minute detail. He always remained connected. Inspired by a wonderful script by Murugadoss, he worked so hard to build that body suited for the role. I would say the he worked harder than me. I know how difficult it could be to have -- and maintain -- such a body at his age. I heard him saying that in fact I was the one who pushed him to do the role. That comment makes me even more humbled. Hats off to Murugadoss and the entire team."

Beyond that I can’t talk about it. But I’m very excited about both Ghajini and London Dreams. I’ve a long list of criteria for selecting a role beginning with the director, banner and co-star and ending with the cinematographer…I want them all to be just right. Am I being greedy? Perhaps.
