Indian Stars Praise Hollywood Stunt Director Vlad Rimburg’s Safety Standards

CHENNAI-Actor Virat Karrna, who plays the lead in director Abhishek Nama’s mythological action drama ‘Nagabandham: The Secret Treasure’, and actor John Kokken, who plays a pivotal role in the film, have praised Hollywood stunt choreographer Vlad Rimburg for the emphasis he placed on safety while filming the movie’s challenging action sequences.

The praise comes after the film completed production without a single reported accident or mishap despite featuring several demanding stunt sequences.

John Kokken said, “We had this fight master called Vlad Rimburg. He is a Hollywood fight director who has been a part of several Hollywood films including a film on Netflix called ‘Back in Action’ with Jamie Foxx. In India, he has done a couple of films like ‘Minnal Murali’. So, for most of the portions that Virat and I were there, he was there and it was fun.”

He added, “It was quite challenging also. And it was interesting to see how the Hollywood stunt directors work. There is so much emphasis on safety. And they do so many rehearsals. Even if it’s a shot where you are using a gun, Vlad would take the gun and he would make sure that he has fired the gun six times just to make sure the entire cartridge is empty.”

Virat Karrna echoed John Kokken’s views, saying there was tremendous emphasis on safety and that every little detail was carefully taken care of.  (IANS)
