Stunt Performer

Creator

Stunt performers execute physically dangerous action sequences — car crashes, wire-work falls, fire burns, fight choreography, high dives, and motorcycle chases — in place of or alongside lead actors in Bollywood, regional cinema (Tollywood, Kollywood, Mollywood), OTT productions, and television. In India the profession is governed by the Movie Stunt Artists Association (MSAA) for Hindi films and parallel bodies in regional industries; membership is mandatory for on-set access. Day-to-day work means translating an action director's choreography into repeated, precisely controlled physical executions across multiple camera setups — executing a punch that looks real while ensuring no one gets hit, coordinating a six-car pile-up that hits every mark, or performing a 40-foot building fall with a crash pad invisible to camera. Senior performers specialise and become stunt coordinators or action directors, designing entire action sequences, managing safety protocols, hiring stunt teams, and budgeting action units on productions ranging from ₹30Cr indie thrillers to ₹300Cr pan-India blockbusters.
