Sixty-three-year-old Yuen, also an actor and director, has been instrumental in
creating some of the most memorable action stunts in films like Crouching
Tiger, Hidden Dragon that had Chow Yun-Fat and Michelle Yeoh, Uma Thurman’s
Kill Bill films, The Matrix series starring Keanu Reeves and The Forbidden
Kingdom, which had Jet Li and Jackie Chan in it.
“Endhiran will have very slick action sequences and Shankar wanted to have
someone who is very big to create some never seen before stunts. Yuen is a
master of stunts,” according to a source..
The source adds, “With Yuen looking after the stunts himself, be rest assured
that you will get to see some action that defy gravity and reason. There may be
some on-air stunts too. Rajnikanth is super excited that he will get to do all
this. Yuen might also mix some martial arts in the action sequences.”
Directed by S Shankar, Endhiran is based on the work of the late writer
Sujatha’s novels En Iniya Iyanthira and Jeeno. Shankar has previously directed
Rajnikanth in Sivaji: The Boss. Endhiran has a mammoth budget of rupees 140
crore making it the most expensive film to be made in India to date.
It is expected to release on April 14, 2010.
