Touted to be a mega action-entertainer, the makers of Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff’s War have gone all out to up the scale of stunts in the film. After roping in four top big action directors — Paul Jennings, Franz Spilhaus, SeaYoung Oh and Parvez Shaikh — all specialists in creating a different type of spectacle, we have learnt that Tiger will be seen wielding the Gatling gun. The weapon is used by elite military forces, especially in the US. It is said that the kill-machine can fire around 2,000 rounds of bullets in a minute. Mobile and lightweight, it can be used for fighting on foot or mounted to improve precision. Incidentally, it is being used for the first time in a Bollywood film.

“While making War, we kept one thing in mind constantly — what will make this film the biggest action-entertainer that India has seen. All our effort has been in making this film a visual spectacle for audiences, especially action genre lovers. Both, Hrithik and Tiger, have already wowed people with their action avatars in their previous films, so we wanted to push the boundaries more. For one scene, we got the world’s most powerful machine gun — Gatling — and choreographed an action sequence featuring Tiger. It is a sight to see him tear down a city with this insanely powerful piece of a military weapon. He is an incredible action hero and we wanted him to show people something that he has never done before,” discloses director Siddharth Anand.
