After playing a baddie in Kidnap, Imran Khan gets into the action groove again with a vengeance. He recently shot for an underwater action scene surrounded by sharks near Durban in South Africa for Soham Shah's Luck.
Imran, who hadn't done this before, had to undergo specialised scuba diving training for this scene. A source working on the film reveals, "Imran was quite geared up to meet the challenge of doing the scene. Soham asked him if he wanted to use a body double, but the actor was adamant on doing the scene himself. Even though the scene was shot in a controlled environment with authorised scuba experts, the sharks were moving very close to Imran."
The underwater scene with Imran and the sharks is one of the major highlights of the film. "It was important for the scene to be canned in a few takes. The temperature of the water was freezing and Imran had to constantly keep coming up to check his oxygen tank. After the scene was shot, the entire crew applauded Imran."
When contacted the producers confirmed the incident but refused to share details saying it was early to divulge details.
