खिलाडीचे स्टंट्समॅनला हृदयद्रावक पत्र !

ब�

��लीवूडमध्ये स्टंट्समॅनची भूमिका अत्यंत महत्त्वाची असते. अभिनेत्याला हिरो करण्यासाठी हे स्टंटसमॅन मात्र स्वत: खुप धडपडतात. पण टाळ्या मिळतात त्या हिरोलाच. अक्षय कुमारला त्याच्या आगामी चित्रपटासाठी ट्रेन करायला येणाºया आंतरराष्ट्रीय स्टंट कोआॅर्डिनेटर स्क ॉट कॉसग्रोव्ह याचा मृत्यू झाला. हे कळताच त्याने अत्यंत भावनाविवश होऊन त्या स्टंट्समॅनसाठी एक हृदयद्रावक पत्र लिहिले.

त्यात त्याने स्टंट्समॅनची अभिनेत्याच्या आयुष्यात किती गरज असते यावर भाष्य केले आहे. त्यांच्यामुळेच अभिनेत्याच्या पत्नीला, मुलांना तो सुखरूप मिळतो. आॅस्करमध्ये एखादा चित्रपट किती बाजी मारतो हे त्याच्यासाठी महत्त्वाचे नसून त्याच्या भूमिकेची नोंद किती घेतली जाते यावर सगळा खेळ अवलंबून असतो असे अक्की मानतो. 
 

To all the stuntmen and women out there, I just heard another great international stuntman, who has actually worked in my own industry, and was going to come and train with me has sadly passed away.

I not only believe you all should be winning Oscars or Indian awards for your incredible work, in my eyes, you should also be acknowledged globally for saving our lives and the credibility of our films.

It pains me, because I know the one expert that an actor/actress can’t live without, during their shoot, is their stuntbuddy. Hadn’t it been for your unbelievable hard work and amazing talent that make our movies look good and help us earn so much, we would be mourning the death of so many actors/actresses.

Instead, the stunt community is quietly mourning the ones they’ve lost, be it by accident, injury or fatality on the sets of award-winning films over the years. I know winning an award still isn’t enough for what you all painfully go through for these million-dollar projects, but it would be a small start. Sadly, the ­fraternity is barely even honouring you with that.

just want you to know, coming from a stuntman/actor like myself, I admire, respect, honour and am eternally grateful for everything that you all do.

My children still have their father in one piece because there is always someone prepared to take the fall that I may not be able to.
