Arjun Rampal, along with his co-stars Vidyut Jammwal and Nora Fatehi, released the trailer of his upcoming film Crakk in Mumbai on Friday. At the trailer launch, Rampal revealed that he suffered from a slipped disc while shooting stunts for the movie.
The actor shared, “I try to do most of my stunts in a film. Crakk was one of the most physically challenging films. We were told that there will be a lot of action and it will be amazing. I was told that I’ll be able to do all of it. But when you hug Vidyut, you feel muscles which you didn’t even know existed in human bodies. I am quite a fit guy, so I was like ‘What kind of animal is he?’ I really had to up my game in that department.”
He added, “I was so inspired and in such awe in this movie, watching all these people do their thing. So I had to constantly push myself. I had to say I want to do it again. In that process, I suffered a slipped disc and was laid up in bed. They were very kind to cancel the shoot for a good two to three weeks till I could recover and finish the sequence. But ya, we have to do it. And on the last day, Vidyut didn’t leave me there either because those discs, that had been repaired, got displaced again, so I had to go back into a hospital. So that’s how Crakk was and I don’t think I’d change it for anything.”

Nora Fatehi too revealed how she was injured on the sets of Crakk. Fatehi also shared she did all the stuns herself without a body double.
She shared, “Arjun (Rampal) sir was doing his stunts, Vidyut (Jammwal) sir was doing his stunts, so I also wanted to do it without a stunt double. While shooting a scene with Vidyut, we both were going at full speed, and suddenly I had a fall. However, he was going at full speed and both of us were tied by a rope. The rope was tied around his waist and I was behind him. So when I fell, he didn’t know. He ended up dragging me. So I was dragged along the whole concrete. And I was screaming, and then he stopped. Everybody was asking me if I was fine. I was not fine. I cried in my vanity (van) like a baby.”
Crakk, directed by Aditya Datt and produced by Vidyut Jammwal under Action Hero Films, is scheduled to release in theatres on February 23.
