Sudeep starrer “Phailwan”, which is directed and produced by Krishna, will have Hollywood stunt coordinator and fight choreographer Larnell Stovall choreographing fight scenes. Stovall is known for his breathtaking fight sequences in Hollywood films and series such as “Captain America: Civil War”, “Kick Boxer”, “Ride Along”, “The Hunger Games”, “Dragon Eyes” and “Undisputed 3” among others.
This isn’t Stovall’s first stint in the Inidan cinema. In the past, he has worked in Khan’s “Sultan”, Akshay Kumar’s “Brothers”, and SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus – the “Baahubali” series.
The sequences in “Phailwan” will see Sudeep facing many boxers, and Krishna plans to create realistic episodes on par with Hollywood standards. Stovall has been roped in to choreograph only the boxing sequences for Sudeep.
The film features Akanksha Singh as the female lead and Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty playing a major role in the film. Ravi Shankar, Kabir Duhan Singh, Sushant Singh and Sharath Lohithashwa are also part of the cast. The film’s music is by Arjun Janya and cinematography by Karunakar.
