Vivek Oberoi, who is in the news for his fitness sessions and retro look in Apoorva Ladakhia’s ‘Mission Istanbul’ has deviated his identity from just an actor to a stunt star.
The film which is extensively shot in hilly areas of Turkey asked for some stunts. The duo, Zayed and Vivek performed a stunt called stupendous feat, in which they had to jump from a 40 storeyed tower. Both of them were apprehensive, initially, but then did the stunt in the first shot and decided to go ahead and do the shot seven times as it gave them an adrenaline high. “The film has quite some stunts and mostly, it was our director Apoorva who would first attempt the stunt since he is the adventurous sorts and only if he was sure, we would go ahead with it. In certain cases, he opted for duplicates. But when it came to jumping from the 40-storeyed tower, Apoorva wasn’t really up for it. However, for me and Zayed, it seemed like the best opportunity to establish our credentials as stunt heroes. And so, we did it.” says Vivek when asked about the stunts. He added,
“Though we had developed goose bumps before the first take, grappling from the height was so much fun, that we decided to give six more takes”.
