Two years after Akshay Kumar launched an insurance scheme for stunt artistes, the organisation seeks actor's help in securing medical coverage for senior stunt coordinators

Kumar is one of the few Bollywood actors to perform his own stunts
Two years since the death of stunt artiste Abdul Sattar Munna, who passed away in a road accident while travelling to the set of a Malayalam film, his family recently received compensation of Rs 20 lakh.
The redressal is the result of Akshay Kumar's initiative — the actor, celebrated for his action hero image, had launched an insurance scheme for stunt choreographers in 2017. Now, Aejaz Gulab, general secretary, Movie Stunt Artistes Association, has sought the aid of the superstar once again to secure insurance for senior stuntmen.
