TIL Desk Bollywood/ He is back in his shirtless, action-star avatar with Race 3 but Salman Khan says the stakes are higher this time as they have tried to keep the stunts realistic yet high octane. “It’s tricky (to get the action right). Sometimes, you go overboard and when you go realistic, they (audience) prefer the earlier films’ action… So we needed to be careful.
“Action has to look genuine, believable. It can’t look farcical and we can’t make you laugh. Physically also, it’s a lot of strain and hard work. If you don’t look the part, physically and end up doing unbelievable action, then people laugh at you,” Salman said in a group interview here.
The 52-year-old actor said it is easy to use special effects for action sequences but they decided against it as they wanted them to be believable, even when they were blowing up expensive cars.
