Salman Khan Takes the Risk as Stunt Double Suffers Heart Attack
MUMBAI: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is reportedly preparing to take on several action sequences himself after the stunt performer working as his body double suffered a heart attack during the shooting of his upcoming film.
The incident reportedly occurred on the set of the film currently being referred to by its temporary title SVC63. The stunt performer, who normally steps in for Salman Khan during physically demanding and risky sequences, was forced to take a break from action filming following the medical emergency.
According to Indian media reports, the unexpected situation created concerns about the production schedule, particularly because the film includes a number of action-heavy sequences that require careful coordination between the lead actor, stunt team and production crew.
Rather than allowing the disruption to cause a significant delay, Salman Khan has reportedly decided to participate in some of the action scenes himself. The move is aimed at keeping filming on schedule while the stunt performer remains away from physically demanding work.
However, the production team is said to be taking a cautious approach. Action sequences involving Salman are reportedly being planned with additional attention to safety, with the crew expected to assess the physical demands of each scene before filming begins.
The development has added an unexpected challenge to the production, but the team appears determined to maintain progress without compromising safety.
Salman Khan is well known for performing action-oriented roles and has frequently featured in physically demanding sequences throughout his Bollywood career. His decision to step in during the stunt performer’s absence could allow the filmmakers to continue shooting key portions of the movie while avoiding unnecessary production delays.
The stunt performer’s current condition and further details about his recovery have not been widely disclosed in the reports available so far.
The film’s official title, release date and additional production details are expected to be announced separately.
