Jason Tham happy to perform stunts on his own in Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi

Actor Jason Tham is a happy man because he is set to make his silver screen debut with renowned Hindi film director and producer Aanand L Rai's forthcoming production venture, Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi.

The film arrives in cinemas this Friday. Jason is playing a grey character called Chang in the film. The actor has performed a few stunning stunts in the movie. Speaking on that, Jason says, "The whole idea was to do my own stunts and when I shared the idea with my director Mudassar Aziz, he immediately liked it. We did this while shooting in Malaysia. This was my first attempt and it went off well. There were approximately five stunts. I am thankful to my director who listened to me and showed his faith in me. I personally took the initiative because there is no gain without pain. It could have been fatal but it was a fruitful experience."


When asked who his favourite actors in India are when it comes to action, Jason says, "Among the new generation, it has to be Tiger Shroff. He is very good with his flips and jumps and from the earlier lot, it is John Abraham. His action scenes are very convincing."

Directed by Mudassar Aziz, Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi is a comic-caper, also starring Sonakshi Sinha, Diana Penty, Ali Fazal, Jassie Gill and Jimmy Shergill. A sequel to the 2016 hit film Happy Bhag Jayegi, the movie releases on 24th August.
