By Kalyani Prasad Keshri
Salman
Khan
is
back
to
action
after
trying
hands
in
several
comedy
films.
And
this
time,
he
has
taken
the
action
very
seriously
after
doing
some
action-packed
scenes
in
Veer,
Wanted
and
the
upcoming
movie
Dabangg.
The
actor
is
now
going
to
take
some
tips
from
Hollywood
action
master
Philippe
Guegan
for
his
next
film
Kick,
which
is
a
remake
of
a
Telugu
hit
film
of
2009.
Philippe
Guegan,
the
French
maestro
of
on-screen
action,
will
be
training
Salman
Khan
to
take
his
action
hero
image
to
another
level.
Philippe
has
some
big
international
super
hit
action
films
to
his
credit,
which
include
Rush
Hour
3,
The
Transporter,
Hitman,
Taken,
and
The
Kiss
Of
The
Dragon.
Producer
Sajid
Nadiadwala
has
been
lucky
to
get
Philippe
Guegan,
who
is
usually
booked
by
the
leading
Hollywood
films
for
stunts
in
advance
for
months.
Sajid
has
also
convinced
Philippe
to
come
here
in
Mumbai
to
train
the
Bollywood
actor
with
some
amazing
stunts
that
were
never
seen
here.
Confirming
the
news,
Nadiawala
says,
“We
wanted
to
take
the
action
to
the
next
level
through
Kick.
And,
the
step
is
taken
not
only
for
Salman
but
also
for
the
Indian
cinema
as
a
whole.
We
are
happy
that
Philippe
has
agreed
to
fly
down
to
Mumbai
in
September
to
train
Salman
personally".
Initially,
Sajid
wanted
to
appoint
Vijay,
who
performed
the
stunts
in
the
Telugu
version
of
the
film.
But
Salman
wanted
someone
of
international
caliber
to
take
the
action
of
the
Kick
to
the
next
level
from
Dabaang.
