JD Sharma, who doubled for Yash in the film ‘Ramayana’, revealed that a co‑actor, described as toxic, performed all his own fight scenes and the Tandav dance without a stunt double.
JD Sharma, the body double for Yash in the upcoming mythological film “Ramayana”, spoke to the media about on‑set dynamics, highlighting that a particular co‑actor, whom he labeled “toxic”, chose to execute his own combat sequences.
According to Sharma, the actor refused to use a stunt double for any of the fight choreography, insisting on performing the physically demanding moves himself, which reportedly caused tension among the crew.
Sharma also mentioned that the same actor performed the elaborate Tandav dance sequence without assistance, further underscoring his insistence on handling all high‑risk performances personally.
The revelations come as the film’s promotional activities ramp up, with producers emphasizing the authenticity of the action sequences. No official comment has been received from the actor or the production house regarding Sharma’s statements.
Industry observers note that such claims, if verified, could spark discussions about safety protocols on Indian film sets, especially in large‑scale mythological projects.
