Sharing his experience in shooting the film Akshay Kumar, host of 'Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi' said "With something as crazy and exciting like 'Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi' you have got to start at Bangkok. I truly enjoyed being on skate board, straddled between two of the tallest buildings in Thailand - just to give a preview of the show to my viewers. It sounds easy on paper, just take a look for yourself and enjoy the ride with me. You don't have to be a daredevil lover to enjoy this show - it's packed with me of course, but also with love, friendships, deadly stunts and a lot of fun."

Kunal Kapoor, Film Director says "The brief was to shoot an exciting action sequence to epitomize the spirit of the show and give viewers a taste of what is yet to come. Hence we thought it would be fitting to have Akshay skate on a cable wire from the rooftop of the tallest building of Thailand. The treatment is topped off with sleek production values"
