COMMANDO 3 *TRAILER* (India, GB, 2019)

actor / choreographer / stunt double for Adah Sharma

Here's a trailer for the Bollywood action film 'Commando 3' starring Vidyut Jamwal, Adah Sharma, Angira Dhar, directed by Aditya Datt.

Andy Long helmed the action and brought me and my brother on board to play former Navy Seals as well as stunt doubling for leading lady Adah Sharma. In the climatic battle me and my brother go against the hero Vidyut Jamwal in a raw 2 on 1 knife battle.

We had a very tight schedule for all of the action scenes but managed to pull it off thanks to highly efficient team work. The director had trust in our team and gave us full control over the fight scenes including the direction of the camerawork. Action director Andy Long had the crew stripped to the bare minimum just allowing the actors and camera operator on the set. I remember how the hotel location where the final fight took place was packed with all sorts of crew members on he day of shooting and Andy waited until all non-essential personell to leave before he started filming. In the end it basically felt like an indie set, just how we were used to shoot our own little productions. I'm absolutely sure that we would have only been able to shoot a fraction of the fight scene if production had stuck to the conventional way of filming! I was very impressed with the main actor Vidyut Jamwal who pretty much performed all of his own stunts and martial arts moves. I feld he had a bit of a hard time keeping up with the extremely fast pace that we had to apply in order to complete the fight scenes, but he didn't complain at all and managed very well - especially in memorizing the complex choreography and timing which he wasn't used to.

Training and doubling the leading lady Adah Sharma was a new experience for me. Adah, who had some background in dancing did a very decent job in performing the fight scenes, although I was her double we tried to train her to a point where she could do most of the moves herself, and sure enough I ended up doubling her only for 2 shots!

I was really happy to be part of this production and thank everyone that I worked with. The movie was released in Indian cinemas in November 2019..
