No risk, no fun

Arjun Rampal and mrita Rao are enrolling themselves for Shaolin Kung Fu classes. However, it’s ot for self-defence, but to pull off some high-risk stunts in a forthcoming film. The film titled The Legend Of Kunal is based on the relationship between Emperor Ashoka and his son. It stars Amitabh Bachchan in the lead.

A source says, “Arjun will have to undergo a rigorous training session as there are many fight sequences to be filmed on him. He will flaunt a bare torso and his abs in the film. And Shaolin Kung Fu will make him fit enough to challenge his physical abilities. Amrita, on the other hand, has already started training hard. She will also have many scenes in which she will have to pull off muscle flexing stunts. Apart from this, she is also taking lessons in horse-riding.”

While Arjun chose to remain mum about the project, Amrita’s spokesperson said, “Amrita’s role demands much more than just looking glamourous. She does a lot of stunts. She is training with a Shaolin expert who has been in India for a few months. She trains for 3-4 hours a day. In fact she plans to take this up on a daily basis even after the movie is over as that would help her remain fit.”

Directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi, the film will also have Tabu, who is paired opposite Bachchan.
