Actor Sahil Khan's latest roll... is with a reptile!

Actor-restaurateur Sahil Khan rolled with a crocodile while shooting in Thailand for his next Ramaa -- The Saviour. And no, it wasn't for a stunt that features in the movie.

As it turns out, the actor and some of the cast went sight-seeing one day and landed up at a zoo.

Reveals the actor, "We decided to look around and the zoo had a croc show on where the visitors were putting their heads in the mouth of the crocodile without getting them ripped off. It was awesome. The croc trainer later invited us to sit on the crocodile and click pictures. He showed us how to... twice."

Encouraged by the demo, Sahil attempted to get clicked for posterity. What happened next petrified him. He adds, "I had just clicked one picture when the animal jumped back I fell but couldn't run, as it was a wet surface.

The trainer and his staff put a steel rod inside the crocodile's mouth and saved me in the nick of time. Swearing this is the last time he's try something like this, he says, "I am not going to do that again... ever." Ramaa -- The Saviour also stars Tanushree Dutta and wrestler Khali.
