Actor Hrithik Roshan will do the action sequences for his upcoming film 'Bang Bang' on his own.
There were reports that a body double was arranged for Hrithik, 40, for his stunts in 'Bang Bang' in view of his brain surgery.
However, an insider said that when Hrithik reached Shimla, he was not happy with the scenes so he wanted to shoot it himself. But the body doubles will be available on sets all the time.
"Hrithik will do the action sequences on his own. The stunts are designed by Andy Armstrong who was working on 'Spider Man 2'," a source close to the development said.
"Hrithik has always done his own stunts and he does not like body doubles. All the stunts are designed in a unique way making it interesting for Hrithik to do it on his own," the source said.
It was during the making of 'Bang Bang' that Hrithik suffered an injury and had to undergo a brain surgery last year.
The film stars Katrina Kaif opposite Hrithik.
