Sham Kaushal Declares War on Bollywood's Tired Stunt Formula

Bollywood’s legendary action director Sham Kaushal has got some spicy takes on the industry’s fight choreography. They’re worth listening to. The man who literally shaped how we see action on screen is advocating for a total reset from the over-the-top stunt spectacles that dominated the 90s era.

According to recent industry chatter, Sham is pushing for a shift toward emotionally grounded action sequences that actually serve the story, rather than exist just for eyeballs. Think less explosion-heavy theatrics, more meaningful combat that connects with audiences on a deeper level. Revolutionary for Bollywood? Absolutely.

The legendary action master believes the current generation of filmmakers needs to embrace this philosophy, proving that you don’t need gravity-defying stunts to deliver killer action cinema. Reports doing the rounds suggest he’s been vocal about how this fresh approach could reshape what audiences expect from their Bollywood entertainers.

Coming from Sham Kaushal, whose son Vicky is one of the industry’s most bankable stars and a guy who’s earned serious props for choosing meaty roles, this manifesto hits different. Whether the industry will actually listen remains to be seen. GaraMasalaFM’s got our eyes and ears on this one.
