Kandahar, the action-spy thriller featuring Gerald Butler and Ali Fazal, is streaming on Prime Video. While the film is packed with many action sequences, actor Ali Fazal recently spoke about one of the stunts that turned out to be a very difficult one. 

"So while shooting Kandahar, I remember shooting one of the most difficult scenes and I suppose the most iconic shot for me was my entry. A very cool chopper flying over a seabed. And just before it lands I open the door and I have to jump out, get into a running van. And we scoot off. And then the van goes into the valley, I get on a bike. The van stops and the back door is opened and the bike is there and then I have to ride off on the bike. But the declining railing, I had to get off while taking a turn on off a moving bike on the sand and then rush off in the opposite direction."

He also added that it was really cool and that it looked beautiful on the big screen. "I'm happy with the way it turned out," he added. Directed by Ric Roman Waugh, Ali Fazal plays the character of the Pakistani agent and Taliban ally Kahil Nasil in Kandahar.
