Vidyut Jammwal
Actor Vidyut Jammwal is one of the finest stunt performers in the country. His films are known for their action elements and the upcoming film 'Crakk' promises to push the boundaries of action in Hindi cinema. Ahead of the release of the film, Vidyut shared a video of him performing a stunt on a train. Along with the video, he also shared a note on how he is inspired by the common man who hangs on trains and balances a family of 4 on a scooter without much thought.
In the video, Vidyut is seen deboarding a moving train and climbing atop the same train without any safety harness or cables. He then runs on top of the stationary train. "I am a trained kalaripayattu martial artist and by profession- an action stuntman. I am blessed and fortunate to live my dream of pushing the boundaries of my skills and entertaining all action aficionados with the stunts I perform. But my inspiration comes from watching videos intently of people hanging on a square inch in a train to work, a family of 4 balancing on a two-wheeler on crowded roads, and people of all age groups running to catch a bus. All this, without any training or safety harnesses. All self-taught, each one a daredevil. And this, almost every day without giving it much thought. This is the true definition of Crackk.
I dedicate my song/ film to everyone who is driven by passion, motivation, and determination to face this every single day.#YOUinspireME," he wrote in the caption of the video.
He further wrote, "Crakk - The Run! The first game that will make you experience real-life stunts."TO BE TRIED AT HOME".

Netizens react:
While some praised the actor for the daredevil stunt, some called it dangerous.
A netizen commented, "IRCTC fine on the way...."
"Is harkat ki wajah se aapko jail bhi ho sakti hai," wrote another person.
A comment read, "Subway surfers, bhago piche irctc wala bhi aa rha hai".
A person wrote in detail, "Sorry to see this! This is not fun @mevidyutjammwal ji, youth follow you means U need to understand that they will try things which U do. Just imagine how devastating it may be for the families if any of your little fan will harm him/her self while trying anything like this on a train? Thousands of stunt enthusiasts are now orthopaedically disabled because of stunts on train. I have seen their pain. Kindly stop showing your love for stunt where U are misleading the youth. Promotions for films we all do but for traction we actors should not cross our limits. hope you and every actor/influencers realise this."
Actor Vidyut Jammwal's 'Crakk' also stars Amy Jackson, Arjun Rampal and Nora Fatehi. The film will be released in theatres on February 23.
