The star solid is arguably the largest USP of War — the October 2 launch sees the approaching collectively of Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. Knowing that the union of two of Bollywood’s largest motion heroes will likely be surrounded by excessive expectations, director Siddharth Anand wished to have a reputed motion director helm the face-off sequences between the 2 on-display screen rivals. Enter Paul Jennings, one of many largest motion administrators of Hollywood. The stunt director has beforehand lent his experience to Hollywood motion spectacles like The Dark Knight (2008), San Andreas (2015), Jack Reacher (2012), Sherlock Holmes (2009) and Game Of Thrones, amongst others.

“What I love about Bollywood is that you can push the action a little bit further,” says Jennings, who forays into Hindi cinema with War. “You can do things that push the boundaries of believability right to the edge. As a result, you can end up with more spectacular sequences. In Hindi movies, you can sometimes be limited by the budget. But on this film, Adi [Aditya Chopra, producer] wanted to have the best action sequences possible. So, we had a big budget and were able to [give shape to] any grand sequence we envisioned. So, I would say there is no difference between the sequences in War and say, Mission Impossible or The Fast and Furious! The film is at par with them.”

If it’s the stunt choreographer’s job to visualise by no means-seen-earlier than sequences, it’s as much as the actors to breathe life into them on celluloid. He applauds Roshan and Shroff for bringing their very own to the scenes. “They are both dedicated actors who worked hard at different facets of their craft, including physical training, fighting and dancing. We would choreograph fight sequences during rehearsals and then show them to Hrithik and Tiger, who would then inject their individuality to the moves. It is because of them that we could take the fights to a whole new level.”
