Salman Khan reveals that twice his stunts went wrong, leading to near-fatal consequences: ‘My hair grazed the rock…’

From high-altitude jumps and death-defying motorcycle stunts to intense hand-to-hand combat sequences, there is hardly an action trope that Salman Khan has not explored on screen.

Behind the spectacle and cinematic glamour, actors performing such risky sequences can experience fear, exhaustion, pressure, and even moments of vulnerability while shooting these high-stakes scenes.

IPL: Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna and Ashok Sharma are GT’s Motera Motorheads at Ekana as they rock LSG’s brittle batsmen | Cricket News

Old-fashioned Shubman Gill and his band of home-raised fast-bowling trio star in GT’s cruise over LSG The switch from a rickety vintage car to a warp-speed race car was both swift and seamless. Shubman Gill looked ragged and rusty in the first 13 balls he faced. He survived a tough catch, tried to manufacture strokes and failed, drove crisply but straight into the fielders’ hands. But when he seemed like a blow away from crumbling to the mat, he dragged himself from the ropes and showered his adversaries with blows for a 56 off 41. It was Mohammed Shami’s third over. The first two had bled only 10. A double and dot later, Shami erred on the leg-side and Gill gleefully flicked it through the vacant fine-leg region. Something stirred, a routine stroke filled him with belief. The next ball, he thrust his front-foot and drove him aerially over long-off. There was not much room to free his arms, it was a length ball on off-stump, but the bat-swing was so fluid that he generated …

Ranveer Singh Calls Vikash Nowlakha The ‘Unshakeable Rock’ of Dhurandhar

Ranveer Singh Calls Vikash Nowlakha The ‘Unshakeable Rock’ of Dhurandhar

Ranveer Singh is taking a moment to acknowledge one of the most important creative forces behind Dhurandhar, cinematographer Vikash Nowlakha. The actor recently praised him as the “unshakeable rock” of the film, recognising his steady presence and immense contribution throughout the project. As the Director of Photography, Nowlakha played a pivotal role in shaping the visual identity of Dhurandhar. From stylised action sequences to emotionally layered scenes, his work ensured that every frame carried both scale and depth. The film, known for its grand storytelling and high-energy execution, relied heavily on its cinematography to bring its vision to life — something Nowlakha delivered with precision. Ranveer’s appreciation highlights the often under-celebrated role of technicians in filmmaking. While actors and directors take centre stage, it is the cinematographer who builds the visual world audiences experience. In a film as demanding as Dhurandhar, which involved extensive shoots, challenging locations, and intricate action setups, consistency behind the camera becomes crucial. Industry insiders and collaborators have also acknowledged Nowlakha’s dedication, noting how his calm and focused approach helped maintain …

Lara Dutta recalls nearly drowning on Andaaz sets: ‘I didn’t know how to swim, sank like a rock’ | Bollywood News

Lara Dutta has played glamorous, comic, and action-oriented roles across a career spanning more than two decades. But one of her most gripping stories has nothing to do with any character she has played. It is about the day a wave swallowed her whole on a film shoot, and the co-star who dived in after her. Speaking to Asian Television Network Canada, Lara revisited one of the most terrifying experiences of her career, one that began with a rogue wave, ended in a hospital, and eventually pushed her to learn swimming at the age of 30 for the 2009 underwater action film Blue. Lara Dutta, who won Miss Universe in 2000 before making her Bollywood debut in Andaaz (2003), recalled how a dance sequence shoot went dangerously wrong when a wave swept both her and co-star Akshay Kumar into the sea. The sequence, filmed during the Andaaz shoot, left her completely exposed to the ocean’s force with one critical problem: she did not know how to swim. “I went underwater, wearing leather, didn’t know how …

Putting the rock in Ragnarok: Sanjoy Narayan writes on Nordic blues

Putting the rock in Ragnarok: Sanjoy Narayan writes on Nordic blues

It was one of those wonderfully wet Finnish summer days — unexpected, slightly comic, and, in hindsight, perfect. Every country here has its legendary acts. Iceland’s Kaleo is four childhood friends from a town near Reykjavík who bonded over American music, recorded an album in Nashville, and went double-platinum in the US in 2016. I was on the Kuopio leg of a bike-and-train trip through the country, negotiating a queue for paistetut muikut, the addictive crispy-fried whitefish that Kuopio does better than anywhere else on earth, when something stopped me mid-reach. Music. Specifically, a groove so fat, so irresistibly New Orleans in character, that for a disorienting moment I wondered if I’d been teleported from the shores of Lake Kallavesi to a sticky, beer-soaked night at Tipitina’s. A quartet had quietly materialised on a festival stage — drums, bass, guitar, keyboards — and were playing like they’d been raised in the French Quarter. They were The Cuacuas from the nearby village of Kinahmi, devotees of The Meters and Booker T. In Finland. In the rain. …
