Megastar Mohanlal escaped a major injury when he fell 40 feet after a bike stunt went horribly wrong at the sets of Casanova in Hongkong on Thursday.
The actor was shooting for a chase scene on high crates in a warehouse. The stunt involved the actor sliding the bike on an inclined plane from the top of the boxes.
The maneuver, however, went wrong when the motorcycle skidded and the actor fell 40 feet with the bike to the safety bed that was placed in case of an accident.
Casanova director Rosshan Andrrews said that the mishap could have been fatal but thankfully the megastar escaped without any injuries.
The actor is known to do all its stunts himself and this time too despite the crew advising a dupe to perform the dangerous stunt, Mohanlal had insisted on doing it himself to bring the grit in the action.
Unfazed even after the injury-scare, the actor reportedly went ahead and shot few more scenes before canning the shoot for the day. Talk about total commitment!
Bollywood stunt director Allan Amin, of Dhoom and Dhoom2 fame, has been helming the action sequences of the movie, which boasts of several adrenaline-charging scenes.
Mohanlal has been doing all the stunts himself, including stoppie - a stunt where the rear wheel of the bike is off the ground. Lamborghinis, Porsche Boxsters, Ferraris and helicopters have all been used for some of the action sequences.
The action-thriller also has Shriya Saran, Laxmi Rai, Roma and Kannada actress Sanjjana to keep the mercury rising.
As the movie's name suggests Mohanlal would be playing the role of a playboy who owns a successful international chain of flower boutiques. In addition to charming the belles with his flamboyance he also tries to even the score with his foes using his primary weapon of choice: Love!
