Khiladi on fire: Watch Akshay Kumar nearly escape an accident on the sets of 'Singh is Bling'

Akshay Kumar is known to pull off his own action stunts in films, no matter how dangerous they may be. On the sets of Singh is Bling recently, Kumar survived a fire accident just in time.

In the film, he plays a Sardar who prides himself on being a daredevil. In a video released by the film’s production house Grazing Goat films, Kumar is seen rehearsing with his stuntmen many times before jumping through the circle fire. In one such jump, he misses the mark and the flaming circle falls onto him. Fortunately, with help on time, Kumar survived the accident unharmed. He tweeted about the accident on Tuesday evening:
