When it comes to shooting high-octane stunts, 10-year-old Vishesh Bansal, who plays Karn in Siddharth Kumar Tewary's 'Suryaputra Karn', is as better than any seasoned actor. The child artist has performed some daring stunts in the biting cold valleys of Kashmir and that too without a body double. There were times, when he would hang for hours on a harness for cliff-jumping scenes.

Elucidating on his awesome stint, the young actor 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 has 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.
