The makers of Harshvardhan Rane’s upcoming untitled action film have roped in Hollywood stunt coordinator Frank Torres. The film is being directed by Nilesh Sahay.
Torres has worked on a number of Hollywood films as stunt coordinator, including American Hustle (2013), A Star Is Born (2018) and Point Blank (2019). As a rigging coordinator, his filmography includes Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017), Kong: Skull Island (2017) and the famous bear sequence in The Revenant (2015).
Sharing his reaction at his Hindi film debut, Torres said in a statement, “I am excited to work on my first 'Bollywood' movie. It’s an extremely fast-paced actioner with nonstop action. His [Sahay's] knowledge for the genre is unparalleled. His passion and dedication to what he does is very uplifting, and when someone has that passion, you know they will make something great.”
On prepping for the film with Sahay, Rane said, “I call Nilesh 'Boss' because he is a true leader and someone extremely positive about his vision. He subconsciously motivates me every second day to push harder, not just for this film but for the action genre itself. The mountains are helping me meditate along with training for my first action film with him. We are focusing on agility and a natural approach rather than the usual fitness programme for this one!”
Sahay also has Squad in his kitty. The film is to be the launchpad for Danny Denzongpa’s son Rinzing Denzongpa.
