 Bollywood
star Ajay Devgan escaped death while giving an action shot
for a film near an island in Thailand - the weather
suddenly changed and the chopper moving over him nearly lost
control. He escaped unscathed, despite the helicopter blades
whizzing inches from him. He says he was shooting with other
actors near Phi Phi Island. The action director Jack Gill had
planned out a stunt in which the jet-ski chase was suppose to
be shot from a chopper. "Initially, as we started filming and
moving around in the shallow waters, the waves were moderate.
So we decided to move ahead in the deeper waters since the |
 scene
required a proper aerial view which should
look like a chase from a top angle," Ajay
wrote on his blog www.ajaydevgan.net. He
was shooting with four other stuntmen.
"They were moving aggressively in the sea
trying to give their
best shots by manoeuvring with their cuts
around me. The chopper was also hovering
right above us and as close as possible to
us to get better shots," he added.
According to Ajay, all seemed to go well
until they realised they were nearing
another smaller rocky island called Maya
Bay."Suddenly the weather started to
change. The wind and the waves were trying
to show us
their stunts and our guys instantly
thought of retreat. "A sudden gust of
strong wind hit me and next moment the
chopper above us lost control and blades
were so dangerously close to us that we
could feel the strong whipping winds of
our
helicopter," he described. Ajay, who
featured in several action movies
including his debut vehicle Phool Aur
Kaante and Raju Chacha, says this incident
will be etched in his mind for a long
time.
