The stuntActors these days are going the extra mile to perform dangerous and daring stunts.

Vishnu Manchu has performed some death-defying stunts in his film Doosukeltha (directed by Veeru Potla), currently under production.

For a fight sequence choreographed by Thai stuntman Kecha, Vishnu jumped off a speeding jeep as it plunged 80 feet to the ground.

With great precision, Vishnu jumped off the jeep and onto the lead villain!

He did the shot in one take as the unit members held their breath.

This dare-devil act fetched Vishnu praise from Kecha as the actor did it without a body double.

Kecha, who has choreographed some stunning action sequences, said, “As the director and action choreographer for the film Vishnu gave me freedom to design action sequences that were best for the film.

"I could just tell Vishnu if I had a new idea and he was ready to experiment. Vishnu pulls them off effortlessly.’"

So the audience can expect some breathtaking stunt scenes in Doosukeltha.
