Actor Gerard Butler has been banned from performing daring stunts in his upcoming remake of 'Point Break'.

The bank robbery film involves sky diving and surf riding exploits that are considered risky even for professional stunt men, reported Daily Star.

The producers of the picture, who want to raise the thrill ride to a new level from the 1991 original, are going to bring in sports professionals as doubles.

"They are going to use the best of the best. These guys are poly-extreme sports athletes on a quest to get through eight suicidal challenges," Butler said.

The 44-year-old hunk said that Garrett McNamara, who holds the Guinness World Record for the largest wave ever surfed after riding a 78-foot tall break off the coast of Portugal in November, is on the payroll.
