I’ll tell you one secret. So many action (scenes) I have done, a lot of times I have taken it from ‘Tom And Jerry’. That whole helicopter scene, I have taken it from ‘Tom And Jerry.’”

Kumar mentioned that he also looks at National Geographic to take inspiration for action. The actor continued, “And another one from which I had taken is National Geographic, where you get to see great action. ‘Tom and Jerry’ is unbelievable, the kind of action they have.”
