Rohit Shetty is already busy shooting for his upcoming cop drama Sooryavanshi and the director and lead actor seem to have dived straight into the action. Akshay recently posted a photo of himself hanging from a helicopter while Shetty rides alongside him on a bike.

“Casually hanging, off a helicopter...just another day on the sets of #Sooryavanshi” he tweeted cautioning fans not to try the stunt on their own.

A photo of Akshay pulling off a daring stunt on a motorbike surfaced earlier. “ I have a lot of fun doing my own stunts. Rohit is anyway a class apart when it comes to the action in his films. And doing these bike stunts on the streets of Bangkok was very special,” he said.

Earlier, Rohit Shetty took to Instagram to share the first look of Akshay Kumar’s avatar in his upcoming cop drama Sooryavanshi. In the picture, Akshay wears a stern expression and is dressed in a tight black shirt and khaki pants.

“ No Uniforms... No Marked Cars... Anti Terrorism Squad - The ghost department of our police force... Sooryavanshi,” Shetty wrote in the caption.

Akshay had also shared a photo from the sets with Ajay Devgn, who stars in Shetty’s Singham franchise and Ranveer Singh, who was seen in the Singham spin-off Simmba, which released last December.

Sooryavanshi also stars Katrina Kaif as Akshay Kumar’s love interest and Badhaai Ho star Neena Gupta who plays his mother.
