Ajay Devgn's high-octane action stunts in Tezz

Ajay Devgn has done some thrilling action sequences in his upcoming release Tezz


The promos of Priyadarshan's slick thriller Tezz have created quite a buzz. Ajay Devgn and the rest of the cast have performed high-octane action stunts designed by Hollywood power duo Gareth Milne (Bourne Ultimatum and Bourne Identity) and Peter Pedrero (stunt co-ordinator of The Bourne Supremacy and a few action sequences from the Harry Potter series). The film also stars Anil Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut, Sameera Reddy and Zayed Khan, and has been produced by Ratan Jain.

Says Devgn, "It's a fabulous mix of international action and Indian emotions. Films work only if they connect with the audience, and Tezz has that emotional element. It has been presented in a very stylised manner with some fabulous action."

Peter Pedrero who has previously worked in some Indian films says, "Ajay has done a lot of his own stunts and was very focused. He is a very good student; when we demonstrated something, he would listen carefully and then within a couple of attempts perfect the shot. One day we were doing some test shots on a jet ski at very high speeds and close to the riverbank. Priyan asked me, 'Do you think we could get Ajay to do something like that?' Just as I was about to answer him, we looked over at the man doing the tests and did a double take. Who we thought was a stunt driver actually turned out to be Ajay!"

Among the many thrilling action sequences in the film, Ajay and Anil have shot a hand-to-hand combat sequence in a tunnel. "Both actors are fantastic. We briefed them in detail about how trained their characters would be and then designed the fight around their capabilities. We wanted them to do all the fights themselves and not use body doubles, making it look more dramatic and believable," Pedrero informs.

The action director also says that the car, bike and helicopter chase sequences involving Devgn are very explosive. "We shot on busy streets in Birmingham and in Scotland. I would say the hardest and possibly the most dangerous stunt is when Sameera's character slides her bike underneath a parked truck and safely emerges on the other side. All the action involving the vehicles was challenging."

Tezz is a Venus Worldwide Entertainment presentation and releases on April 27.

Whenever Priyadarshan gets very excited about a particular project it turns out to be a disaster, Be it Doli Saja Ke Rakhna to Billu. Promos look dull so not expecting much from this.

I tried watching this and turned it off in the first few mins. In those few mins there is an atrociously fake court scene and some super bad policemen beating an "innocent" Indian down. That was enough for me, no way I was going to sit through the whole movie.

I watched it all, but mainly because they shot a lot of it in Birmingham. Was unintentionally funny in parts, worth a watch!!!

Not really - in fact not much of the action takes place on the train. I had read somewhere that this is a rip off of a Japanese film called Bullet Train.

You could say a mix of both. But if you noticed a lot of the scenes were lifted from Speed, especially the 'Bin scene'

From the DVD the film seemed to have two versions - an Indian version and an International version. In the Indian version, all of the
english dialouges are dubbed in hindi (basically meaning, all the white people are talking in hindi) .
