It’s not something you see in York every day – a motorbike chase down by the river.

But then, it’s not every day that York plays host to the filming of a major Bollywood movie.

Commando 3 stars Vidyut Jammwal as the all-action hero in this high-octane thriller. He was on set riding along the King’s Staith cobbles.

The Reliance Entertainment movie was shooting in London before the cast and crew decamped to York.

They filmed all day, first on one side of the river next to The Lowther and Kings Staith, then zooming along on the other side near Panda Mami.

Many local people doubled as extras, while having a drink in the Kings Arms beer garden.

The shoot is due to move on to other York locations soon, including Shambles.

York photographer Jayne Nicoll was on hand to capture many of these action packed shots.
