While the actor was advised to use a stunt double for the shot, given the risk it involved, Shahid insisted on doing the scene himself, since he felt it would seem more authentic and believable.
Says a source, "Shahid Kapoor's introductory scene in 'Phata Poster' is extremely dynamic and fitting to the title of the movie. He performed the stunt himself minus a body double and after a couple of takes the scene was successfully canned. Luckily barring a few scratches he managed it without any injuries".
Starring Shahid Kapoor and Ileana Dcruz, the film is scheduled to release 20th September 2013.
