New Delhi. Veteran Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has been winning people’s hearts with his powerful acting for the last 3 decades. He has given many superhit, hit and flop films in his film career. His very brilliant film ‘Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi’ is also included in this list, this film was an action film released in 1996. It was directed by Umesh Mehra.
Rekha played her first villain role in this film. Raveena Tandon had romance with Akshay Kumar. It was the 5th highest grossing film of the year 1996. There was also a role of an undertaker in this film. Some people think that he was the real Undertaker but he was not the Undertaker but his cousin brother Brian Lee. His height was about 6 feet 7 inches and his weight was 425 pounds (192 kg). Akshay Kumar had picked him up during an action scene in the film, due to which he had to face a lot of problems.
Now, 28 years after the release of this film, Akshay Kumar shared his old pain and told how difficult it was for him to raise wrestler Brian Lee. After lifting him, his back broke and he had a slip disc problem. Now Akshay called himself ‘mad’ for doing this stunt.
Speaking to Ranveer Allahbadia for the podcast ‘Beerbiceps’, Akshay Kumar said that he remembers ‘Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi’ not because it was his superhit film, but because he broke his back during the shooting of the film. . He said- I and my husband remember the film very well. It broke after lifting Undertaker. He weighed about 425 pounds or something and I decided I would pick him up. Akshay says that he completed the stunt and the scene was also shot but later he realized that something was wrong with his back. ‘Then I had a slipped disc,’ the actor recalled. When I think of this film, I only think of slipped discs. Not because of it being a superhit.
