'Uri' actor Vicky Kaushal was shooting for an action sequence on the sets of his horror film, when he and everybody around had to witness the real-life horror
Vicky Kaushal, last seen in the monstrous hit 'Uri: The Surgical Strike', was shooting for a horror film, which is expected to be his next release. The actor would have barely known that while shooting the film, he would also witness real horror.
Vicky Kaushal, son of action choreographer Sham Kaushal, saw real-life action on the sets of his next movie. He was shooting for Bhanu Pratap Singh's directorial venture which revolves around a ship that lies static on a beach, which is when tragedy struck him.
The crew (including Vicky) were shooting in Alang (a real set, in fact world's biggest ship-breaking yard), Gujarat since the past five days. Vicky was shooting for an action sequence in the ship. His take required the actor to run and open a door.
Mid-Day however reported that the stunt backfired and Vicky fractured his cheekbone and got 13 stitches on his cheek. "Unfortunately, the door fell on him and he was badly hurt. He was rushed to a local hospital by the crew and flown to Mumbai on Friday morning," a source told the daily.
A large portion of the movie was previously shot in Mumbai. It was a month-long schedule in January then. The film also features Bhumi Pednekar in the lead role. Co-incidentally Vicky and Bhumi have already been announced as the starcast for Karan Johar's next directorial 'Takht'. Meanwhile director Bhanu too has previously been an assistant to Shashank Khaitan.
Vicky Kaushal is still remembered as the Major from 'Uri'. Talking about the film's success, Vicky had previously told the same daily, "Just before the film was to release, Aditya [Dhar, director] and I were discussing how the entire team has given their all - physically, mentally and emotionally - to the project. Though we were content with our efforts, we didn't expect the audience to go bonkers."
