In his latest interview with Bollywood Hungama, Alan Amin spoke about his point of view on the current action films and alleged that the sequence that he shot with Abhishek and John was copied by the makers of Shah Rukh Khan starrer. He called the current action sequences in the films fake,” It looks fake. In Dhoom, I made Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham fight on the trailer. The same sequence was copied in Pathaan, involving Shah Rukh Khan and John”.
When asked why action films like Bade Miyan Chote Miyan didn’t work and if audiences are tired of action films. Alan Amin said,” Yes because rubbish is shown in the name of action. When you exaggerate, you need to do it only a little. That’s what I did in Dhoom 2 (2006). I made Hrithik Roshan jump from a helicopter onto a moving train. Before shooting the sequence, I told a base jumper, ‘Jump, land on the train and show me’. He jumped on a trial basis and touched his feet on the train. That’s when I realized that this is possible. And only then, we went ahead with the scene. Or else, we would not have done the scene.”.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan worked wonders at the box office and the audiences loved his dual appearance in the film.
