I always check my harness before I do a stunt; I test-drive the cars I have to race or explode; I'm present at all pyrotechnical rehearsals; and I walk through everything step-by-step. No man should put their life in someone else's hands unless they have covered their own safety from all angles.
It takes two hands to clap! I cannot be solely blamed for what happened in my relationships! If things soured, it happened because of both parties. Not just me!
I could break bricks with my hands when I was 12.
IIFA is always involved in charity, and that's why it's a great thing that I am a part of IIFA and will continue to work along with them.
On every birthday, I ask my wife, 'What would you like this year?' and her instant reply is, 'Diamonds! Diamonds! Diamonds!' I'm always living in hope that one day she'll say she just wants me!
I'm glad that my films have been consistently faring well rather than one stray Friday!
I am so glad people have started making films n martial arts and self-defense, which is actually the need of the hour.
If any of my characters require me to blacken my beard I do it, otherwise I don't.
I always call myself a stuntman first and then an actor.
Martial art has always been my first love.
People want to see realism in action now. People want the actors to perform than the computers performing. Though I have done both, I enjoy the realism of action more.
Most of the films are only 60% taken, rest is a director's input.
Mixed Martial Arts is wonderful to watch, it is very practical but dangerous at the same time. You have to be very careful when doing something like that.
Watch and enjoy Mixed Martial Arts, and if some people are thinking about doing it, they must be very careful and think about enrolling in training first, they must make a thoughtful decision before actually doing it.
