Newcomer Akhil Kapur, who is the nephew of actor-politician Vinod Khanna, performed a risky action sequence for his debut film "Desi Kattey".

In one of the scenes, Akhil had to jump from a height and he decided to do it himself despite action director Jai Singh Nijjar, known for his work in `Singham Returns`, `Chennai Express`, and director-producer Anand Kumar insisting on roping in a stuntman to perform the stunt.

But the martial art expert Akhil was confident that he could pull it off.

`A lot of precaution is taken during action sequences that require jumping from hi-rises. But I was confident and my aim was accurate,` said Akhil in a statement.

Action adventure "Desi Kattey", based on shooting sports, will hit the screens Sep 26.
