A Hollywood action choreographer was said to be doubtful that Akshay Kumar had the ability to pull off the amazing stunts, in upcoming film, 'Chandni Chowk To China.'
However, Huan-Chiu Ku has now revealed he was very impressed with Akshay and his ability to perform some of the gravity-defying stunts.
He said in an e-mail interview with IANS:"I had doubts if Akshay could do the stunts, but he did it very well. Whatever stunts I asked him to do, he agreed to do it without any hesitations - be it sky diving from the platform of the building or any other stunt."
"When I asked him (Akshay) whether he had done this kind of stunts earlier, he said no. I think he is very good," he added.
Huan also revealed a scene which he found particularly difficult to place in the film, "The hardest part in the film was when Akshay had to fight with a seven-foot-tall guy who was very strong and weighed somewhere around 200 pounds."
"When a huge guy tries to punch you, you try to get back to avoid the punch and Akshay would react very fast - I had to tell him to move slow."
The film will be released in India on January 16.
