Ahead of the release of ‘Bhuj: The Pride of India’, actor Nora Fatehi opened up about getting an injury on her forehead while shooting for an action sequence in the film.
“We were shooting for an action sequence and the director wanted to shoot the scene in a single take with one camera, hence my co-actor and I rehearsed the action choreography wherein he holds a gun to my face and I flick the gun out of his hands to start beating him up,” Nora said.
“It went perfect in our rehearsals which was literally five minutes before the take, however, when we started rolling the actual take, the coordination was off and the actor accidentally threw the gun to my face, due to which the end of the metal gun, which was by the way, really heavy, hit my forehead causing an injury and blood gushing out,” she added.
Nora was immediately taken to a hospital as the injury caused swelling and blood loss, almost leaving her unconscious due to the pain.
Interestingly, the injury worked out for the film as a sequence required Nora’s face to be smashed in a mirror, which was ideally supposed to be a VFX creation, however, with Nora’s accident, the team decided to use her real wound.
