While
shooting
a
scene
in
Singh
Is
Kinng
on
the
Gold
Coast,
Akshay
Kumar
had
to
Jet
Ski
in
deep
water
but
realized
that
he
would
not
be
allowed
to
do
so
without
an
official
license.
Producer
Vipul
Shah
reveals,
"It
takes
three
days
to
get
a
jet-ski
license
but
Akshay
explained
the
time
constraints.
He
did
a
three-day
course
in
12
hours.
He
got
up
at
6
am
and
got
his
license
by
7
pm.
He
had
to
give
a
written
and
practical
test.
The
action
scene
we
have
shot
is
one
of
the
most
expensive
ones
that
Bollywood
has
ever
seen
and
has
been
directed
by
Danny
Baldwin." Akshay
laughs,
"Going
through
a
theory
and
practical
exam
was
like
going
back
to
school!"
Danny
Baldwin
is
an
incredibly
popular
stunts
coordinator
in
Australia
with
over
a
hundred
films
and
television
series
to
his
credit.
He
is
even
said
to
have
worked
with
Tom
Cruise
in
The
Last
Samurai
and
Michael
Douglas
in
The
Ghost
And
The
Darkness.
Commenting
on
how
he
was
approached,
Shah
says,
"When
we
went
for
a
reece
to
Australia,
we
saw
a
lot
of
show-reels
and
met
a
lot
of
technicians.
But
we
saw
a
clear
synergy
with
Danny
as
his
style
of
action
was
exactly
what
we
needed.
The
beauty
about
the
action
in
Singh
is
Kinng
is
that
not
only
is
it
great
to
look
at
but
makes
the
audience
laugh
as
well."
Reacting
to
rumours
that
the
glamour
action
in
Singh
Is
Kinng
resembles
that
of
Dhoom
2,
Vipul
adds,
"It
is
similar
only
in
quality.
These
are
very
high-end
action
sequences.
Akshay
had
to
be
very
careful
in
certain
sequences,
for
instance,
the
scene
in
which
he
had
to
jump
from
one
moving
lift
to
another
without
supporting
cables.
But
Akshay
is
Akshay!
He
did
it
with
much
panache
and
agility.
Enjoy
watching
it
in
the
film!"
