Zayed goes wild!
I'm not sure why Zayed Khan likes action movies so much, since it seems that weeping lover-boy roles suit him instead but I guess some people just don't learn. Shouldn't the flops that were Cash, and Speed show that maybe he should be trying for different roles, like one where he doesn't have to take a punch?
Anyways, the actor is impressed with Mission Istaanbul because he's doing his own stunts. Most Bollywood actors are only willing to punch and maybe do a flying kick with the help of stunt wires and rely on stunt doubles on anything that could hurt their pretty faces. Zayed's stunt involves jumping from a boat to grab the 'skids' of a hovering helicopter (a skid is the ski-type thingies below the helicopter...I don't know what you call them. There's a reason why I failed flying 101).
Zayed talks about his stunt,
"Yes, Mission Istanbul sees me doing one-of-its kind stunt. Rarely in the history of B-town have we seen or heard of an anti-gravity act, that too without any safety precautions."
"I am feeling pretty ecstatic about it now but if you ask me honestly, I was more than terrified before the shot. There was no chance for error and if I missed grabbing the skids, it was only the deep dark sea that would engulf me in its wrap. Luckily, I found our director Apurva taking me in his wrap post the shot and congratulating me for delivering what he called a superb feat."
Next time you think you might have a chance of seeing Zayed, don't forget to take a pin. His head is getting a bit big, he'll need help letting off some hot air. Someone might also want to point out that Istanbul is mispelled.
