Sameera Reddy Becomes An Action Star

As its title denotes, Priyadarshan’s forthcoming venture ‘Tezz’ is expected to be quite racy and filled with high-tempo actions.
Recently the leading lady Sameera Reddy had a taste of danger while shooting for the multi-starrer. The actress said to have shot some risky, action sequences - which included whitewater rafting and under water bike ride! Interestingly, in this process Sameera who has phobia for water, overcame the hydro fear.
Some sources revealed that in fact the director wanted to shoot such stunt scenes using a body double as they all were aware of Sameer’s fear. But surprisingly, the beauty turned out to be such an adventure junkie that she took it up as a challenge to shoot the scene herself!
Not only she did rafting, Sameera also shot for the underwater scene in the freezing temperature. Sources from the unit shared that the actress stayed in the freezing cold water for 15-odd minutes pulling off the sequence to perfection. But when she came out she couldn’t stand on her feet and her body had gone completely numb. Thankfully the unit brought back her to normalcy in an hour by keeping her warm and giving lots of hot drinks.
Besides these sequences, Sameera shot a chase scene on bike few days ago, that is said to include high defined stunts. The film’s team - with cast Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, Zayed Khan and also Sameera - is currently shooting in London. Source

Abhay Deol Becomes Nostalgic With ZNMD Shooting

Abhay Deol is feeling nostalgic these days. After watching the final act of his latest film ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA recently, Abhay Deol is missing all the fun he had while shooting for the film. Now, if it was in the actors’ hands, he would have re-shot the film to revisit his fond memories.
Talking about his upcoming film ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA, Abhay says, “It is a wonder film. Though I have done two multistarrers before this film, but shooting for ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA was great fun simply given the camaraderie all of us shared on the sets. Recently, when I saw the full film for first time, I realised how much fun we had while shooting the film. Now, I really wish to go back and re-shoot the film if it was possible just to revisit all that fun.”
In this film, Abhay has also lent his voice to one of the songs. Though Abhay thinks he is not a great singer, but we have to restraint our judgement till we don’t hear him out. Source
