Action movies have a wide audience and many drool over the amazing stunts that our favorite actors and actresses pull off with such conviction. Certainly, there are talented minds and spectacular imaginations behind these jaw-dropping scenes. BollyCurry has dedicated the month of February to parallel cinema and it's only fair that we bring to the fore the forces behind the astonishing action stunts in Bollywood films!

The driving force
behind numerous blockbusters is this Punjabi born action director. Kaushal is
the man behind hits like Krrish 3 (2013), Goliyon Ki
Rasleela - Ram Leela (2013), Dhoom 3 (2013) and Gunday (2014).
He won the Filmfare Best Action Award for Gangs of Wasseypur I and II (2012),
as well as the IIFA Best Action Award and the 19th Annual Screen
Awards for the same. Kaushal is the action director for the upcoming Bajirao
Mastani and Phantom.
Parvez Shaikh

Best known for his
work in recent hits such as Ungli (2014), Mary Kom (2014)
and Bang Bang! (2014), Shaikh has won the Zee Cine and Screen Award
for Best Action Director in 2011 for Ra.One. He is expected to
direct the stunts in the upcoming Bank Chor and Fan,
both under the Yash Raj banner.

Vijayan is most known
to be the man behind the action for most of Salman Dabangg Khan's
films, and is quite well known in the Southern industries as well. Master
Vijayan, as he's commonly called, has films like Wanted (2009), Dabangg (2010)
and Bodyguard (2012) to his credit. His first award was given
to him by Filmfare for Best Action for Salman's hit film, Wanted. However
his biggest success story is probably the extremely successful Dabangg,
for which he won the Best Action awards at almost every award ceremony that
year, including the Screen Awards, Zee Cine Awards, Filmfare, the Global
Indian Film Awards, IIFA and the 6th AXN Awards. His
work will next be seen in a Telugu Film, Temper, which is slated for a
February release.
Peter Hein

After working his way
up from an assistant action director, Tamil born Peter Hein is now a sought
after action coordinator. More popular in the Tamil industry, Hein has still
managed to make a name for himself in Bollywood with movies like Tashan (2008), Ghajini (2008), Agent
Vinod (2012) and Race 2 (2013) to his credit. He has
won the Filmfare Best Action Award for Ghajini, as well as awards
for his Tamil and Telugu films. His upcoming film Shuddhi was
recently announced.

This list is
incomplete without the talented Allan Amin, a man known for flicks like Dil
Se (1998), Mission Kashmir (2000), Main
Hoon Naa (2004), Dhoom (2004), Dus (2005), Rang
De Basanti (2006), Dhoom 2 (2006) and Race (2008).
Amin won the Filmfare Best Action Award for Mission Kashmir, Qayamat:
City Under Threat (2003) and Dus. Amin has been on a
hiatus since 2013, but his fans hope he will show up soon with another
blockbuster.
It's safe to conclude
that without the masterminds of these brilliant action heroes of real life,
movies would just be unsubstantial with mediocre visual effects. Be sure to
fill the space below with your favorite action film and send your best wishes
for Bollywood's action directors.
