- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,August 05 2009]
Action and stunts have always appealed the young and old. A good action sequence can help in a movieÂs success. And movies like Murattu Kalai, Sathriyan, Captain Prabhakaran, Suriyan, Jai Hind, Sakalakala Vallavan, Satya, Dheena were well enjoyed by viewers and raised the movieÂs status. The dhishum-dhishum responsibility is mainly shouldered by the action director or the stunt master. A movieÂs action sequence is the outcome of sweat-pain and creativity efforts, of these stunt choreographers.
Coming to the current scenario, a name that stands tall amidst the action field is Peter Hein. He is the man who grabbed an important place in cinema for his unique way of presenting Hollywood fights in Tamil style. His action sequence in movies like ÂRunÂ, ÂMazhaiÂ, and ÂBose stands testimony for his talent and impressed one and all. He directed the fights in Hindi for Aamir Khans ÂGhajiniÂ. In Telugu he gave ÂChatrapathi and the recent ÂMaghadheera with Chiru's son Ramcharan Tej. Who can forget the astounding stadium action sequence of ÂAnniyanÂ? Well, it was choreographed by this brilliant mind.
Peter Hein might have directed many fighting scenes but he says the one movie which very close to his heart is ÂSultan The WarriorÂ. This Soundarya RajnikanthÂs venture was very interesting and challenging for this ace stunt director. Even though movie is mainly based on animation, it includes stunts that look too real. Peter Hein along with Soundarya had traveled to France and Vietnam to capture the best shots of the martial sequences; as the best expertise were said to be found there. Worthy to be mentioned, Peter Hein had also directed our Superstar, Rajinikanth in ÂSivaji before.
So people gear up to see Peter HeinÂs creative fights in this SuperstarÂs animation flick.
