The excitement for Toxic, the next big film from KGF star Yash, has just hit a new gear. In a huge development, legendary Hollywood action director JJ Perry has joined the team in India. Perry, who is famous for designing the breathtaking stunts in massive hits like Fast & Furious, John Wick, and Day Shift, is here to create the action sequences for the film. The makers recently shared pictures from the set, confirming this massive international collaboration.
A 45-Day Action Shoot With Indian Talent
JJ Perry is in India for an extensive 45-day schedule, which will be dedicated to filming a major action sequence. What makes this collaboration even more special is Perry’s decision to work with an all-Indian stunt team. Instead of bringing his own international crew, he has put his full faith in local talent. In a statement, Perry praised the Indian team, calling them “world-class.” He said, “That’s precisely why I chose to work with them. We’re tackling a major sequence right now, and I’m super stoked about taking this on… this team is meeting it head-on.”
High Praise For Indian Cinema
This isn’t just another project for JJ Perry, who has worked in 39 countries over his 35-year career. He expressed his genuine admiration for Indian movies and the vision of Toxic‘s director, Geetu Mohandas. “I’m a fan of Indian cinema; it’s creative, artistic, and bold,” Perry stated. “Geetu has great vision, and everyone from cinematographer Rajeev Ravi to the production designer and art team has been fantastic.” This collaboration is set to push the boundaries of action in Indian films.
