Jayan’s Deadly Stunt
There’s a great reason why actors should use stunt doubles for scenes requiring dangerous stunts. Stuntmen are professionals who are trained to survive life-threatening situations. But that’s something some actors seem to take for granted when wanting to do dangerous scene themselves, like in 1980, when Indian actor Krishnan “Jayan” Nair met a terrible accident when the helicopter from which he was dangling crashed as they were filming a climactic scene. Later, Jayan died from his injuries.
