Vidyut Jammwal forms martial arts group for training

Vidyut Jammwal takes action seriously off-screen too. He relies on eight martial artists chosen from different walks of life to keep him on his toes. “He has been able to put together a team of eight men who may not fit into the ‘traditional’ definition of what you may imagine as the team of an actor. This team comprises men who come from different walks of life — from bus conductors to store keepers who he brought together after an extensive search,” confirms a source.

He visited a number of training academies first and then visited local haunts to identify men who may consider their craft a matter of survival as opposed to what the mindset of an academy trained guy would be.

The source further reveals, “Vidyut and his team train every day for a good five to six hours comprising fitness, endurance and agility training coupled with combat and martial art based stunt designing. In fact, it is believed that they were responsible for creating skeletal designs for the action sequences for Vidyut’s forthcoming film Commando along with the South African specialised stunt team.”

The stunt sequences in the trailer of the film have left people aghast as a lot of Hollywood style intense scenes have been done minus cables and stunt doubles. Vidyut insisted on all by himself. Well, it looks like Vidyut loves notching up action to the next level.
