Sidharth Malhotra who is currently shooting for his much anticipated 70's spy thriller Mission Majnu in Lucknow has been shooting action sequences on live locations. Filming at live locations comes with the risk of injury. As luck would have it, the actor severely injured his knee while performing a stunt last week.
While shooting a jump action sequence, the actor slipped and hit his knee on metal. Instead of stopping the shooting, the actor did a lot of icing and medication and finished the action sequences. He went on to shoot for the next three days to ensure that the shoot does not get disrupted since they have been working with a retro setup.
A source revealed, “Though there was no immediate bleeding or swelling, he was in excruciating pain. The director immediately called for medical attention. While there was talk of holding off the day’s shoot, Malhotra took the advised medication and ice compression to alleviate the pain, and went on to finish his portions.”
The actor has a great lineup this year with Shershaah, Thank God and Mission Majnu. Mission Majnu will see South sensation Rashmika Mandanna make her big Bollywood debut. The film is directed by Shantanu Bagchi The film is reportedly based on true events of the 70s and portrays India’s covert operations in Pakistan which was one of the deciding factors of the relationship between the two neighbouring countries.
