Watch: The mind-blowing science, risks and bravery behind Rohit Shetty’s flying cars in Dilwale!

If you were ever asked to summarize a Rohit Shetty movie or identify it based on pictures, both will require the use of one object- cars.
His movies may or may not have a plot or logic, but what they’ll have in abundance are cars. And, he usually doesn’t stop at that. He’ll go ahead and destroy it too.

Shetty’s penchant for cars and his need for action have played an integral part in all of his movies; so much that they’ve become a defining trait while identifying his style of film-making.

But, while we look starry-eyed at the screen every time a scene in his movie involves blowing up cars, we’re also quick to criticize him for wasting money on blowing up cars and if that really makes any sense?

Shetty himself isn’t clueless about all the accusations leveled at him for all the action stunts he has pulled off or tries to pull off in any movie.

And, in a new video uploaded by the Dilwale team on their Facebook page, Shetty comes clean and takes us- the ever-faithful audience (who lap up all of his movies, but not without discharging our duty of criticizing every bit of it, as well) inside his world where stunts are the way of life.

In the almost 12 minute long video, Shetty is at his candid best, wherein he talks of about how unfair it is that people talk only about him blowing up cars and how that is a waste and refuse to dwell on how he and his team work tirelessly through the night before the stunt to ensure that the car is 100% safe for the stuntman sitting inside it.

He reveals that for Dilwale, there were a total of three stunt teams- one his own, and the other two being the Bulgarian and the South African stunt team needed to ensure his vision makes its way seamlessly into the big screen.

In an emotional candor, he states how it requires around 150-200 men to put their life to risk just so that his vision for an action sequence is brought alive, and no one can understand what he goes through knowing that, because at the end they’re his responsibility. He adds how after the action sequence i shot, the first thought that comes to his mind is not whether the sequence has been shot properly but whether the man making the sequence possible is safe and sound. At that moment, he says all of them are a team who rush to see to it that the stunt man is alive and kicking!

Watch the video if you (like me) are one of those who’ve written Shetty off for ‘blowing up way too many cars’ and not thought about the other side. Or about the numerous stunt men who perform these life-threatening stunts for our entertainment.

Here's a look at the heart behind all the action

A salute to the stuntmen who risk their lives for our entertainment! Watch the Heart that goes Behind the Action!

The video which features lots of cars, Shetty in his natural form, glimpses of Shahrukh Khan (yay) and stunts and the immense hard work and courage required to bring them alive, is certainly not for the faint-hearted!
