The fire accident on the sets of Prabhudheva’s Rambo
Rajkumar, earlier this week in Mumbai was not as minor as it is being
made out to be.
Apparently, Shahid has got burn injuries on his back and hand and would need some time to recover.
Says a source very close the film, “We were shooting a fire
sequence when the chemical used to create the fire went awry .It singed
Shahid’s shoulder and hand. It could’ve been much worse. Thankfully
nothing serious happened.”
The stunts in Rambo Rajkumar are getting more and more
dare-devilish as Prabhudheva wants them to be one-up on what Salman Khan
and Akshay Kumar did in Wanted and Rowdy Rathore.
Says the source, “When Shahid decided to do his first action film
he had to make sure the stunts were of the never-before variety. That’s
why he waited so long to do an action film and even opted out of his
friend Siddharth Anand’s ‘Bang Bang’.”
Not too many know this. But ‘Bang Bang’ was a project that was
planned with Shahid. Source said, “But then somewhere down the line
Shahid preferred Prabhu’s project as his first attempt at the action
genre. ‘Bang Bang’ is a remake of a Tom Cruise actioner ‘Knight &
Day’ and Shahid didn’t want his stunts to be compared with Cruise. Rambo
Rajkumar is an original.”
When contacted Prabhudheva refrained from commenting on the injury but did mention that he’s taking a break with his two sons.
“We’re going to Australia for a holiday. During my vacation with my
kids I’ll also unveil the first look of Girish Taurani’s debut film
‘Ramaiya Vastavaiya’ at the Melbourne Film Festival,” Prabhu informed
before taking off.
