Hollywood star Tom Cruise made headlines when he performed a dangerous stunt for his popular franchise `Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning- Part 1`. For the scene, the actor performed a stunt that involved him jumping off a cliff on a motorcycle. The actor opted to perform the stunt himself without the use of any body doubles on a real location.
Recently during an interview with ANI, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar was asked about the stunt performed by Cruise and whether it is possible in Indian cinema. The actor who is trained in martial arts and is known for performing his own stunts in films said that Hindi films do not have the kind of budget required to pull off such an elaborate act. "The amount spent on the stunt is our budget for 2-3 films. And not just the shoot expense, just the amount spent on the practice for the scene. It`s not like we cannot do it. We can do it if we want to," the `Bade Miyan Chote Miyan` actor said.
