This filming location is the place of the only bungy jump that has been made by a Tamil hero and that honor goes to Vijay. It is also said that Kamal did a bungy jump for Aalavandhaan, but the jump as with the movie itself has remained forgettable. Now, back to the bungy jump in the movie Kushi – the very sight of Vijay launching into the abyss below to this date remains one of the highlights of Vijay’s career and is also the one of the things that even folks who did not particularly like the movie remember the movie for. We are sure that the 10 second thrill ride would have inspired many among us to add it to the ‘list of must-do things before I die’. One trivia we wanted to add here is that it looks like Jyothika too did the jump but then they edited it out of the movie.

About the location:
The Kawarau Bridge Bungy Jump (in Queenstown, New Zealand) is the world’s first commercial bungy jumping experience & was brought to New Zealand in the year 1888. It is indeed amazing how someone had the foresight to start a bungy jumping more than a century ago. The adventure seekers jump from the Kawarau bridge that stands 43 meters (141 feet) over the kawarau river.
