Abhishek Bachchan’s death defying stunt in Raavan Hindi movie
By this time, all of you have seen the teaser of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s upcoming movie, Raavan, where Abhishek Bachchan jumps off a cliff. In reality, it was a very dangerous stunt scene Abhishek Bachchan did it all by himself. In the beginning, director Mani Ratnam did not want Abhishek Bachchan to jump off the cliff but Abhishek Bachchan was adamant of making the jump. It was a 90 feet long cliff and there was strong current in the water. It was all too risky for Abhishek Bachchan. Interestingly, there were some local boys who were ready to jump off the cliff in exchange of money. Abhishek told Mani that if those boys could do that so could he. Finally, Mani gave into his demand. However, Abhishek Bachchan was first trained by a diver. During the shot, when Abhishek Bachchan made the jump he told himself: “Oh my God, I’m going to die!”
However, Abhishek Bachchan is not angry with Mani Ratnam. He said that Raavan is the most challenging role in his carrier not because the movie was shot in a harsh jungle environment but it was a very demanding role and it drained all the energy but at the end of the day, Abhishek Bachchan was very happy that he did a good job.
