Arya’s wheelie for Bangalore Natkal

Never one to turn down a challenge, Arya refused outright the suggestion to use a body double for a bike stunt in Bangalore Natkal (the remake of Bangalore Days in which Arya plays the role Dulquer essayed in the original). Those privy to how the scene was shot tell us he also said no to safety ropes, and just went ahead and vroomed the bike for the shot.


"Arya plays a biker, so, there are bike-riding sequences. One such sequence required him to do wheelies, and the good sport that he is, Arya decided to do away with body double as well as the safety harness ropes that would usually be tied around the actors while attempting stunt sequences. He said wanted to try it on his own, and he did it, too. He just practised with the bike for a few hours, and gave the shot," says our source.
