Mumbai, June 17: Esha Deol performs her own stunts along with co-star Arjan Bajwa in her ‘comeback’ project
Esha Deol along with co-star Arjan Bajwa has shot for some high-octane action sequences for Tell Me Oh Khuda. The film touted as the star daughter’s comeback project is produced by her mom Hema Malini and directed by writer Mayur Puri.
The scenes were filmed at Mormugao in Goa and had the stars precariously perched on the iron ore barges along the waterfront. Both of them did the action shots themselves without resorting to body doubles.
Risky shots
The scene had Arjan, who essays a photographer in the film, out to save his ladylove (Esha). The Fashion actor went about the filming without any second thoughts.
“But when I came back to the location the next day, I realised what I had done. There were those mammoth barges and the water. One wrong step and it would be dangerous. But thankfully everything went off well.”
As Arjan is a black belt in taekwondo, it helped him a long way in doing the action stunts. “I had to jump from one level of the barge to another. The iron barges have uneven, rough surfaces so my landings had to be perfect. I was suspended with a hook and the places where I had to jump were narrow and small. So everything had to be just right.”
The actor however enjoyed doing there risky shots for Tell Me Oh Khuda. “Here was a chance to do parkour so I was game for it. I must say that it was brave of Esha too to do the shots. She is a genuine, hardworking girl, ” says Arjan who will also be seen in Mohit Suri’s Crook.
