There is a difference between the virtual and the reality world. Many times people especially die hard fans think they can recreate anything they see in a film. We watch films for enjoyment. But, for few of them the stunts performed in the movie are just “child’s play” and they think its too simple for them to perform.
Wake up guys, those are professionally performed stunts and some are digitally modified, or what we call “ special effects” which should not at all be tried at home. Now you must be wondering why I am telling you about all this?! Apparently, there is one smart (sarcastic) Indian guy who attempted a stunt from SS Rajamouli’s film Bahubali, where in the film you would have seen Prabhas performing the elephant stunt? Yes exactly, the same stunt has been attempted by this guy and he failed miserably.
Mostly, when fans see a movie stunt, they try imitating it thinking they can do it easily. That’s where they are wrong. Remember in Baahubali 2 Prabhas stood on top of the elephant that made our heart melt for that beautiful stunt?! Well, this guy in Kerala tried the same with an elephant and in turn got kicked in the gut by the animal.
Apparently, the man was way too drunk and he tried attempting the stunt and he had an epic fall where he was hurt. The original stunt itself was performed with the VFX technology that was planned and done, but common sense is something these kind of people lack.
This was indeed a dangerous stunt and this guy did it and in return suffered the consequence of hurting himself as he got kicked by the elephant in the gut and has been hospitalized.
The video was taken by a friend and posted on Facebook where many people watched and shared this video and the internet just went viral. With as many as 88,857 views on YouTube people are shocked by the stunt done by him and later this video was removed as well due to the extreme violent content.
Here’s a piece of advice for all those who think performing stunts is good, just don’t try doing anything at home it can be really dangerous and you might end up hurting yourself.
