From wielding a sword at the opponent to acing water sports, adventure activities come naturally to Saif Ali Khan

After surprising his action director on the sets of Abbas-Mustan's next with his fencing skills recently, the film's crew was once again in awe of the actor.

Apparently the filmmakers had thought of getting a body double to perform Saif's high-octane chase scenes in the water. However, lo and behold, Saif did all of that himself steering his motorboat with elan.

A source from the sets says, `Saif just loves water sports and didn't give in to the requests of having a body double. He wanted to do it on his own. In fact every time action director Peter Heins would get busy setting up scenes, Saif would take the boat for a spin.`

Peter tells us, `Saif doesn't like to use body doubles and that's the best part of working with actors like John Abraham and Saif who are so enthusiastic about doing their own action. I was scared to imagine Saif controlling the boat himself. But ultimately it turned out very well.`


Saif says he had a great time filming in Cyprus for the sequence and adds, `It was quite a remarkable action sequence. Peter designed it very well. I love being in the sea.`
