In one of the scenes of their upcoming film, War, Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, who are pitted against each other on screen, will be seen in a deadly bike chase sequence. This, we are told, will end up with the two actors crashing through glass window panes.

Says director Siddharth Anand, “This was an incredibly high-risk scene as my actors could have got severely injured had any one single detail not worked out perfectly. It’s a high-speed motorcycle chase scene that will see Hrithik riding a superbike and Tiger chasing him on foot. It needed Tiger to showcase his parkour prowess to time his jump perfectly so that he crashes into Hrithik and both of them break through glass window panes! On top of that, we conceptualised this bit at a blind spot, a juncture where two lanes meet so both Hrithik and Tiger couldn’t time their movement by looking at each other!”

He further adds, “Though all safety precautions were in place, the scene definitely needed their focus, razor-sharp instinct and trust in each other as actors to pull it off. We were all praying that everything goes as per plan. Hrithik and Tiger have a great camaraderie and faith in each other and people will see that when they watch this film. I’m thankful to them for pulling off these risky stunts that has made War such a visual spectacle.”

This will be the first time that the Super 30 star and Baaghi hero share screen space, but the two have always spoken highly about each other. While Tiger is self-admittedly a huge fan of Hrithik, the latter in an earlier interview to this paper had said, “My words won’t do justice to the kind of talent Tiger possesses.”
