The occupation of stunt (body) doubles is dwindling as more and more stars are taking on their own thrills and spills. The latest example is found on the sets of Goldie Behl’s Drona, starring Abhishek Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra.

Earlier, it was reported that Chopra had taken on a traditional Sikh martial art called Gatka for her role. Now Junior B has pushed aside any stuntmen and worked very diligently to buff himself up in preparation of doing his own stunts.

Essaying the lead character of Drona, Bachchan was seen shooting at the famous Sambhar Lake, on horseback, while wielding a sword in conflict with the villain Kay Kay Menon.

Drona is a fantasy flick mixed with plenty of action, adventure, drama and special effects. It is set to release in the summer of 2008.
