War: Tiger Shroff Pulls Off a Deadly Stunt from the Roof Tops of 100 Houses in Italy

Bollywood's action hero Tiger Shroff jumped on top of about 100 houses in for an action sequence that was shot in Italy. War director Siddharth Anand says that there is no one better than Tiger in parkour in India and that they wanted to exploit his skills for the film. "There is no one better than Tiger in parkour in India and we wanted to exploit his outstanding skill and showcase it spectacularly in War. The action sequences in War have been designed to give audiences a maximum adrenaline rush in theatres and we wanted to use Tiger's parkour skills to its fullest to create a high-octane sequence," Anand said. Nach Baliye 9: Shantanu Maheshwari Has His Fan Moment With Hrithik Roshan, Recreates ‘Sitaaron Ki Mehfil’

Parkour is a training discipline using movement that developed from military obstacle course training. It includes running, freerunning, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, plyometrics, rolling, quadrupedal movement and other movements as deemed most suitable for the situation. Tiger performed parkour over 100 houses shot in Matera in Southern Italy for an action sequence for the film, which also stars Hrithik Roshan. Kangana Ranaut Is Looking Forward for an Apology From Hrithik Roshan and Here’s Proof.

"Matera, uniquely, has houses that have been built next to each other. These houses are separated by small bylanes. The proximity of these houses makes it an incredible spot to perform parkour and Tiger was thrilled with our location choice. He flew in 4 days before the shoot and practised three days straight jumping from one rooftop to another and got used to the terrain of Matera," the director said.

The stunt was difficult, said Anand. "The parkour sequence that Tiger pulled off was extremely difficult because he had to jump on top of at least 100 houses. We shot an entire day with him and he exhibited the best parkour moves that anyone has ever seen in a movie," he added. War is set to release on October 2.
