War Movie: GoT Stunt Director Says War at Par With Fast and Furious and Mission Impossible
“What I love about Bollywood is I believe you can push the action a little bit further. You can do things which push the boundaries of believability right to the edge and it means you can end up with more spectacular sequences,” Jennings said. “On Bollywood movies, you can sometimes be limited by the budget but on War Adi (Aditya Chopra) just wanted to make the best action sequences he could. So we had a great budget and were able to do anything we liked,” he added. Paul could not stop himself from praising the action sequences in War. “So, I would say there is no difference between the action sequences on War and a Hollywood movie except that we pushed the boundaries a little further which only enhances them. There is no difference between the sequences in War and let’s say Mission Impossible or Fast and Furious!” Paul said.
