Eklavya proves worth seeing

Eklavya- The Royal Guard is surely going to be a fond memory for every actor and the director for long as all the stunts in the movie were done by the actors themselves. And hence follow some real interesting gripping stories on the sets: Mr. Bachchan again proved his dare devil attitude when he agreed to do the risky scarf burning scene in the movie all by himself in spite of his fear of fire (he had suffered severe burns on his right hand in an accident in the past). In another terrifying incident Big B got almost got crippled by the camel he was supposed to ride. But the legendary actor sums it up in his humility by saying, “When you are doing an action scene, you obviously know action sequences are action sequences, and it can go wrong. They are manufactured sequences; it’s not like its on real time. And when you manufacture some things, the balance, the timing can go wrong. The camel decided to kick me in the head. These things happen… Actually, I should thank Vinod for giving me the costume, because the turban saved me!” Boman Irani who plays the King also has some interesting tale to tell: “You know there is shot of me sitting in the car and the bullet goes past my ear and through the back screen of the car. Mr.Tinu Verma decides to fire a live bullet into the back screen and he is sitting right there between my legs with a gun, pointed and says “Thoda darne ka acting karo”. I’m like Tinuji don’t worry mein dara hi hu, I’m really scared and so the performance will come. Tinnu Verma shoots and the bullet went past my ear and hits the back screen of the old vintage car. Tinnuji was supposed to hit the center but it goes two inches high and hits the metal frame. And I dread to think what if it hit the frame, and rebound and hit my ears. But I swear I’ll never do that again. I swear I’ll never do it again”. After hearing to these accounts it is humanly impossible to not wait for the theatre packed release of this Vidhu Vinod Chopra film.
