Junglee: This Is What Chuck Russell Has To Say About Vidyut Jammwal!

Chuck Russell who has directed Hollywood actors like The Rock and Arnold Schwarzenegger has said that his Junglee hero Vidyut Jammwal is a special guy.

Chuck Russell says, “I’ve been to India four times in the last five years and have long wanted to tell stories that have an international connect. The success of The Mask internationally showed me how action and comedy could cross boundaries. I broke some rules in the West and added a little song and dance to The Mask. So, when I had two scripts set in India in development, I was open to meeting new actors and was knocked off by Vidyut’s talent. He is a very special guy, who fits my style of filmmaking and understands it. We’ve taken Vidyut’s performance to the next level in Junglee“.

Vidyut Jammwal is Bollywood’s one of the best action heroes, and Vidyut has admitted that he is feeling some pressure when it comes Junglee. He said,”The pressure is on me because I am representing India”

Vidyut further informed that every time he would discuss a daredevil stunt with Chuck he would share his experiences of working with Dwayne Johnson on The Scorpion King or directing Arnold Schwarzenegger in his 1996 blockbuster-actioner Eraser.

Vidyut shared,”These guys are action legends and Chuck used to tell me how he’d seen them perform high-octane stunts with pizzazz. So, when I suffered an injury on set recently and bounced back almost immediately, I felt proud of myself, more so when Chuck told me that any other actor would have asked for a break. That was my big moment!”
