Sham Kaushal, Vicky Kaushal father is a
well-known action director who is famed to
have invented action scenes that have never been
tried earlier. He feels that action has
never gained prominence and dignity as it has
presently when his action scenes seem to
look realistic than ever because the stuntmen
and action directors all risk their lives to take
the action scenes to a higher level. Each action
scene could take hours to shoot and it is
definitely a tiresome job. He says they are now
being appreciated for their work and are
well-paid.
