Hrithik Roshan's very own F1 ride

Hrithik Roshan's very own F1 ride

Hrithik Roshan is set for some hot wheel action now. In his new film Bang Bang co-starring Katrina Kaif, the superstar gets behind the wheel of a swanky Formula 1 sports car for some cool stunts. This is a first of sorts for Hindi cinema.

Director Siddharth Anand is leaving no stone unturned to make the action comedy Bang Bang a feast for those who dig the adrenaline rush. The lavishly shot official remake of the Hollywood hit Knight And Day that starred Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz is being touted as one of Bollywood's sleekest thrillers ever.

To give the film's action some novelty, Hrithik will be seen driving an F1 car on the streets of Abu Dhabi in a chase sequence. Notably, Knight And Day had no such scene. Reports suggest Kahaani director Sujoy Ghosh was specially roped in to work on the screenplay of Bang Bang to tweak the action quotient of the original storyline.

Till now, the use of a Formula 1 racing car for action scenes has been unheard of in Bollywood films. "It is the best adrenaline rush I have ever experienced. To experience it amidst the visually stunning and smooth roads of Abu Dhabi was just incredible. What a rush!" said Hrithik.

Katrina, who plays an action junkie named Harleen Sahni, too, gets to perform a few daring stunts in the film. After Ek Tha Tiger, this is Katrina's second attempt at on-screen stunts. The trailer of the film released a few weeks ago received a mammoth response from the audience, and shows both Hrithik and Katrina engaged in some very innovative stunts.

The film marks the returns of the two stars together after their hit pairing in Zoya Akhtar's Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. Bang Bang got delayed owing to a brain injury Hrithik sustained while shooting an action scene for the film and an ensuing complicated surgery.

The big-budget extravaganza is now set for a Gandhi Jayanti release.
