Vishesh Bansal as Karn

When it comes to shooting stunts, high-octane 10-year-old Vishesh Bansal, who plays Karn in Siddharth Kumar Tewary's Suryaputra Karn, can give senior actors a run for their money. The child artiste has performed some daring stunts in the biting cold valleys of Kashmir, refusing to use a body double. There were times, when he would hang for hours on a harness for cliff-jumping scenes. He says, “I used a harness only for big leaps as I am too young for that.Another interesting stunt I performed was riding two horses at a time, which unfortunately didn't make the cut. Shooting amidst snow-capped mountains wasn't easy , as it would get foggy at around 3 pm. We would be forced to halt the shoot till the mist cleared. I even had a scene where I had to save my reel brother and his whole body weight was on me.“

Vishesh learnt archery , horse riding and snow boarding for the show. Producer Siddharth Kumar Tewary's show is creating a lot of buzz for its content, grandeur and creativity.
