[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text dp_text_size=”size-4″]There’s a good reason why the majority of action scenes in movies are accompanied by a label warning viewers not to undertake stunts without professional supervision. The performers’ safety and the safety of those around them is the primary consideration. Indian authorities detained Delhi-based YouTuber Joravar Singh Kalsi and his companion Gurpeet Singh for reckless driving when they were acting out a scene from Shahid Kapoor’s Farzi.
The authorities were able to identify Kalsi, who has over 350,000 YouTube subscribers, in a film posted online titled Paise uda Feroz. He was observed driving about on Golf Course Road with his companion while tossing phoney bills and mouthing dialogue from the web series. The two later became free after participating in the probe.
An FIR was registered against them under sections 279 (rash driving or riding on a public path), 283 (danger or obstruction in public way or line of navigation) and 336 (act endangering life or personal safety of others) of the Indian Penal Code and The Motor Vehicles Act at the Sushant Lok police station.

“The matter was brought to our attention from social media. In the clip, two people are seen moving in a car on Golf Course Road and recreating a scene from a web show. It appears they did not have any permission and the act was done without any safety measures in place,” said police official Vikas Kaushik. “It has been noticed of late that people have been recording such videos to gain popularity on social media and putting the safety of commuters at risk, which could result in fatal accidents. A case has been registered against the people in the video.”
“The accused said they had recorded the video clip on March 2. Joravar was driving the car and Gurpreet was throwing the fake currency notes from the boot of the car, similar to a scene from a web series. Two more associates had shot the video on a motorcycle which was following them. The currency notes of denomination INR 500 and INR 2,000 are fake. The notes read Manoranjan Bank of India,” the police said in a statement.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
