Ajay Devgn’s Action Scenes In Singham Are Death Defying

After a long time Ajay Devgn is back in his action avatar with SINGHAM and judging from the promos looks like the action sequences are worth watching out for.
Director Rohit Shetty, himself designed the action for the movie. When Ajay Devgn learnt that there were a great number of stunts lined up for the same, he insisted that he performed all the stunts by himself!
The crew and Rohit even gave Ajay an option to get the stunt done by a professional but our action hero had no doubt in mind whatsoever and was hell-bent to perform for the dangerous action scenes.
There was one stunt in particular that made Ajay a little skeptical. More than a decade ago he had performed a very difficult stunt called a ‘Kechi (Scissor) stunt’ for which he had to hold the neck of a person with his legs, which take the shape of a scissor, and twist the neck with the crossed legs. Ajay was quite doubtful as he thought he was fitter back then. Nonetheless he went ahead with it and gave a brilliant shot without the help of a harness!
Well, it seems even now, Ajay is fit as ever. Source
