"It was amazing for me. I'm quite a daredevil myself. So, when it comes to adventure sports I really enjoy such stuff. It was a lot of fun and flying over Delhi, we got so much to see and it was actually very beautiful," said Jacqueline about her experience. Varun, 29, however, spilled the beans and said they were unable to do the stunt because it rained on their parade. "We enjoyed the stunt but after 10 minutes it started raining and Jacqueline got scared." (Source: Photo by APH Images)

Varun discussed his experience while shooting the scene for the film and said, "There was no body double used. It is me and John hanging off the helicopter doing a nose dive and we are 50-60 stories up. This is definitely gravity-defying, logic-defying kind of stunt which I don't think any other actor would have agreed to do," he added. (Source: Photo by APH Images)
