Sidharth Malhotra’s upcoming film Marjaavaan, being directed by Milap Zaveri is currently being shot and has some high octane action sequences. According to Mid-Day, Milap wants to up the ante as far as action is concerned after his last release Satyamev Jayate.
But Malhotra seems to have paid a price for this ambition, as the actor injured his hand while performing a high risk stunt that involved fire. A source from the team, told Mid-Day, “The unit has been shooting at nights at a suburban location over the past four days.”
The source added, “One of the stunts required Sidharth to beat up the baddies while he is set on fire. Though Milap suggested that a body double pull off the stunt, Sidharth insisted on doing it himself. We took all the necessary precautions for the shot, with the star following action director Amin Khatib's instructions to the T. While he filmed the fire scene successfully, the actor ended up bruising his knuckles while punching one of the guys during the shot.”
Sidharth was then given first-aid and proceeded to complete the shoot. The film has piqued people’s interest because it also stars Riteish Deskhmukh in the role of a vertically challenged person. Marjaavaan is slated to release this October.
