Mumbai June 1 (IANS) Actor Arunoday Singh who is shooting for the web series "Apharan" in Rishikesh says it has been great fun leaping about the alleys and rooftops.
Parkour is a training discipline using movement that developed from military obstacle course training. Practitioners aim to get from one point to another in a complex environment without assistive equipment and in the fastest way possible.
"So the parkour sequence utilised some basic jumps and vaults that I have been doing since I was in middle school. I got a school letter (award) for gymnastics. I know I don t look like I can move that fast or agilely but I can. So for Apharan I m working with an action director I ve worked with before Amar Shetty whom I have worked with on Mohenjo Daro .
"He is been setting up sequences knowing what I am capable of. It is been great fun leaping about the alleys and rooftops of Rishikesh " Arunoday said in a statement.
The actor was last seen on screen in the Irrfan Khan starrer "Blackmail". He will be playing a criminal who was once a celebrated police officer in the web series by ALTBalaji.
Arunoday has begun shooting here for the suspense thriller. It is being directed by Siddhartha Sengupta.
