8 Bollywood actors who perform their own stunts

Check out the list of some Bollywood actors who prefer to do their own stunts in movies.

We all love watching our favourite on-screen heroes performing in high-octane action sequences in movies. Be it the car chasing scenes or powerful fights between hero and villain, a mainstream Bollywood movie is never complete without featuring over-the-top action sequences in it. While most of the Bollywood stars use body doubles for those sequences, there are some who love to take the risk and perform those stunts themselves.

Akshay Kumar: Akshay Kumar is a trained martial artist and holds a black belt in Taekwondo. Rightly called as 'Khiladi', he never uses abody double and performs all the stunts himself. Be it the airplane scene in 'Khiladi 420', underwater sequence in 'Blue' or fight sequences in 'Chandni Chowk to China'; Kumar has done all the stunts on his own.

Hrithik Roshan: Aside from his good looks and breathtaking dance moves, Hrithik Roshan is also an incredibly dedicated actor who can go to any extent for his roles. All the eye-catching stunts in movies like 'Dhoom 2', 'Krrish', 'Krrish 3', 'Bang Bang', 'Jodha Akbar', 'Mahenjo Daro', 'War' etc. are done by the "Greek God" himself.

Ajay Devgn: Son of the renowned stunt choreographer Veeru Devgn, Ajay Devgn impressed everyone with his stunts from the debut movie 'Phool aur Kante'. He has performed his own stunts in several other movies including 'Singham' franchise, 'Action Jackson', 'Shivaay' etc.

John Abraham: John Abraham is known as the "Hulk of Bollywood" for his fearless approach towards performing risky stunts. Being a rough and tough action hero, he has performed all the stunts in movies like 'Dhoom', 'Force', 'Force 2', 'Rocky Handsome' etc.

Priyanka Chopra: An internationally celebrated actress, Priyanka Chopra has set an example that women are nowhere less than men when it comes to performing in action packed films. 'Mary Kom' and 'Jai Gangajal' are the two examples for that.

Shahrukh Khan: Not only romance, Shahrukh Khan excels in action scenes too and goes the extra mile to make those sequences look realistic. He has done all the stunts in 'Don', 'Happy New Year', 'Chennai Express', 'Raees' etc. without any body double.

Tiger Shroff: Being a trained martial artist and fit gymnast, Tiger Shroff is currently one of the most celebrated action heroes in Bollywood. He has performed stunts in all of his movies including 'Heropanti', 'Baghi' franchise, 'War' etc.

Vidyut Jammwal: Vidyut Jammwal is arguably the fittest and most flexible actor working in Indian cinema right now. He is trained in martial arts since the age of three. The way he performed all the stunts in movies like 'Force', 'Commando' franchise, 'Junglee' is beyond any words.

The list also includes Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor, Sooraj Pancholi, Taapsee Pannu etc.
