Action time: Sunny & crocodiles!

Sunny as a sardar grows humor in this one
But he isn't throwing action away altogether
For that matter, N.R.Pachisia's Jo Bole So Nihaal has some mind-boggling action for the stunt-starved. Among the highpoints is an airboat sequence, which was shot over a span of 5 days. And they had the best action coordinator do it for them. George Aguilar who action choreographed films like Gangs of New York was there to supervise the action, pun intended.
While we are on the airboat sequence, it is the climax of the film and is shot in the swamps of Everglades, making Jo Bole So Nihaal the first film to be shot there. All is rosy till here but trouble brews now…after zeroing for the venue, the cast and crew set up the shot only to know that the swamp is severely infested with crocodiles!
Scrapping the schedule would mean loosing out on shooting days besides skewing the schedule altogether. An eventuality that the production team wanted to avoid at all costs since they had firangs work with them. Re-arranging the date diary is something that every producer wants to kiss goodbye from far. So Pachisia approached Sunny & told him his worries. And what do you know, the puttar from Punjab says, “Lets do it!” After taking the safety measures that is best possible, the crew went ahead with the shot as decided. The scenes were shot using two helicopters and specialized film pilots. “It is the best aerial action scene that you have ever seen!” Pachisia declares.
