Vidyut Jammwal planning 'Junglee' franchise

Action star Vidyut Jammwal plans to build a franchise around his upcoming adventure film "Junglee".

The actor, who is a trained martial artiste, also said Indian actors are on par with their Hollywood counterparts when it comes to doing death-defying action sequences.

"We have had Akshay Kumar doing the 'Khiladi' series. I have done the 'Commando' series. Now we have 'Junglee' and we will have a series of 'Junglee'.

"We are not lacking anywhere in action as compared to them. Indian actors are doing well. Nobody can touch us in action as we are doing really well," Vidyut told PTI in an interview.

American director Chuck Russell, best known for Hollywood movies like "The Mask", "Eraser" and "The Scorpion King", has helmed the action thriller.

Vidyut, 38, said he is proud he got the opportunity to work with Russell in his Hindi directorial debut.

"I am proud and happy that we got a Hollywood director here. He is a legend and is making one of the biggest action films here. He is a brilliant man and we have brilliant people here as well."
