Dhruv Vikram steps into stunt double role for Mythri’s ‘Jackie – No Retakes Allowed’

Actor Dhruv Vikram portrays a stuntman and body double in the Mythri Movie Makers production ‘Jackie – No Retakes Allowed’, directed by Karan Arvind Kumar.

Dhruv Vikram, son of veteran star Vikram, is cast as a stuntman in the upcoming Tamil action drama ‘Jackie – No Retakes Allowed’. The film is directed by Karan Arvind Kumar and marks the fourth Tamil venture from the production house Mythri Movie Makers.

A promo titled “Jackie – First Move” reveals that Dhruv’s character, Jackie, serves as a body double when the hero, Random Star Rahul, refuses a simple stunt of running toward fifty on‑screen villains. The sequence shows Jackie’s girlfriend warning him not to repeat a previous injury, followed by a fight that turns out to involve real villains rather than stunt extras.

Why This Matters

Dhruv Vikram’s decision to perform high‑risk stunt work signals a bold shift in his acting trajectory, while Mythri Movie Makers’ investment in a stunt‑centric narrative underscores the growing appetite for action‑driven Tamil cinema. Backed by an award‑winning composer and seasoned action choreographer, the film could set new standards for on‑screen realism and stunt choreography in the regional market.
