There are many current actors who tend to perform their stunts like Tiger Shroff, Hrithik, Akshay Kumar as safety measures have increased but despite the safety measures there are chances that a slight mistake can be dangerous.
Akshay will be performing many stunts including a helicopter stunt in his upcoming film Sooryawanshi which he had also done in Sabse Bada Khiladi climax scene where you can see him crossed leg, hanging upside down on the landing skid of the helicopter and lifting Mohnish Bhel (body double).
A few years later while shooting for Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi, he injured his back when he lifted WWE wrestler Brain Lee who played an imposter version of The Undertaker. Bollywood fans think that it was the real Undertaker in the film but it is not so.
Akshay suffered slip disc and was on bed rest for weeks. Later he used to carry a cushion on the sets to support his back while sitting on plastic chairs.
Nowadays there are safety measures taken, still a slight mistake can lead to a major accident.
Actor Inder Kumar fell from a helicopter and was bed ridden for several years.
Today, actors avoid doing their stunts and even the filmmakers don't want to take risk as their investments can suffer.
