WAR: Avengers' Action Director SeaYoung Is All Praise For Hrithik Roshan, Says 'He Put Aside His Own Safety For The Film'

Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff's WAR is just a few days from its release and is among one of the most anticipated films of the year. Right from an ensemble cast to its breathtaking locales and some high-octane, power-packed action; everything about the film so far has kept fans hooked. Recently, WAR's action director - SeaYoung Oh - who has films like Avengers: Age of Ultron and Snowpiercer among others to his credit, opened up on his experience of directing Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff and it's only going to pump you up!

The Hollywood action director says that for War, Hrithik had put his body on the line as risk levels for all his action sequences were coded as critical. “Hrithik had put aside his own safety for the film to bring a jaw-dropping scene on the screen for the audiences. I want to give a standing ovation for Hrithik's fearless and confident performance. The way he smiles after perfectly finishing the action performance is something I will greatly miss,” said SeaYoung Oh.

Upon being asked about Tiger’s incredible one-shot action entry that has now become the longest one-shot action sequence in the history of Bollywood, SeaYoung Oh, said, “Making a sequence in a single-shot requires everyone's undivided attention and effort. Especially when this is an action sequence, the actor's inborn talent and action capability become a prerequisite. Tiger does action scenes with such ease. He never failed to surprise me with his every movement. I believe Tiger will be the future of Bollywood's action films."

In fact, for SeaYoung, WAR is the most difficult film that he has worked on. “I remember getting quite disconcerted after reading the script. Several times I thought, ‘How is Siddharth sir planning to do this?’ I think I have never shot so many pre-visualisation videos just for one film (to prep) in my entire years of working in the film industry!” said the action director.

Sounds exciting, isn't it? WAR, which has been directed by Siddharth Anand, will hit the big screens on October 2, 2019.
