Mohanlal escapes fatal accident

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!

Venkatesh ready to take on Salman Khan

Superstar Salman Khan's "Bodyguard" created Box Office records all over the country during its Eid release. And now, it's going to be mana Venkatesh's turn to do the same.

Venky is currently shooting for the Telugu remake of the same film, with Trisha and Saloni, who play the female leads opposite him. The star is all praise for Sallu and the Hindi remake of "Bodyguard". "I have seen the Hindi film and I think Salman has done a fantastic job," says Venky.

But will Sallu's film have an effect on the Telugu remake; considering the Hindi flick released in Andhra Pradesh in many screens and raked in the moolah? Venkatesh dismisses it with a wave of his hand, saying, "I doubt the success of Salman's "Bodyguard" will affect the prospects of the Telugu remake at the BO. Though we have taken the basic concept from the original movie in Malayalam, we have incorporated a lot of changes into the script to suit the sensibilities of the Telugu movie audience."

Abhishek injured on Bol Bachchan sets

Abhishek Bach-chan’s insistence on performing his own stunts for Bol Bachchan proved a little too costly for the actor as he ended up with a nasty head injury, for which he had to be rushed to Mumbai to undergo surgery.

A source from the sets revealed that the incident took place during the first schedule of the film’s shoot at Jaipur on Tuesday. “A high-end action sequence was being shot and there was no body double available for that day. Abhi volunteered to do the stunt himself rather than have Rohit (Shetty) postpone the shoot for another day.”

Unfortunately, Junior B’s head hit a pole while performing the stunt and began bleeding profusely. “Abhi was administered first aid, but as it was a big injury, everyone felt that he needed to get it checked as well,” our source said. The concerns proved well-founded when, on presenting himself at a Mumbai hospital, Abhi was asked to immediately undergo a surgical procedure. “Yes, Abhi did need immediate treatment, but he is fine now and recuperating,” said the actor’s official spokesperson. The Bachchan family reportedly panicked when they heard the news, but settled down once Abhishek was back in Mumbai. The actor will be discharged on Thursday.

Injured Rana Daggubati comes home

Rana Daggubati got injured on Sunday when an action scene went wrong, while he was shooting for his upcoming Bollywood flick Department in Mumbai.

In this incident, he injured both his knees and got bruised on his shoulder. The incident took place when Rana was shooting for one of his action scenes at a steel factory on the outskirts of Mumbai on Sunday at 3pm.

In that particular sequence, Rana was supposed to jump over few boxes, but due to misscalculating the steps and getting the timing wrong, he fell directly on his knees and the impact was so high that the knee caps he was wearing for protection broke.

When asked what exactly happened, Rana said, “We had already done few other similar stunts, which went on well. But in this particular scene, the timing of the jump went wrong and I fell directly on my knees. My right knee felt the impact, due to which even the knee cap I wore broke. My left knee is not that bad, but it hurts. I have a big, purple bruise on my right shoulder.”

Poor Rana couldn’t rush to the hospital to get a doctor to look at him because, there was no medical help close by! “A few fighters who were shooting along with me put some ice packs on my knees and shoulder and we shot till 5pm and wrapped up.”

When asked why he wanted to risk aggravating the injury, Rana who is now on crutches says, “I wanted to wrap up the shooting soon, because I didn’t want to get stuck in the Ganesh Immersion traffic.”

The actor who reported back to the sets on Monday to shoot his first shot with Amitabh Bachchan, will now take it easy and take a break for a couple of days. He is also not doing any action sequences for a bit, will only be doing close ups till his knees heal. Rana is coming back to Hyderabad on Tuesday to rest at home.

According to unconfirmed reports, some filmstars who had bought villas in the land developed by Emaar MGF at Gachibowli have also been issued notices by the CBI in connection with the Emaar case.

The CBI will question Mahesh Babu and his wife Namrata on September 14, Ram Charan Tej on September 15 and Ms Galla Padmavathi on September 16.

When contacted, CBI joint director, Mr V.V. Lakshminarayana, said he would have to verify the details.

Vishal and Sameera Reddy’s thirty kisses

Actor Vishal must be one of the luckiest guys in K’town. He got at least thirty kisses from dusky babe Sameera Reddy and in turn he kissed her only ten times less than that number.

Before you let your imagination run away with you, we are talking about a certain bathroom scene in a crucial segment of their upcoming flick Vedi directed by Prabhu Deva.

“It’s not a forced scene in the film. It’s very much there in the original Tollywood version, Souriyam,” explained the actor.

We hear that Sameera did 30 retakes for this sensuous scene! Vishal has a convincing reason for this.

“Oh yeah, basically the Mumbai heroines have language problems when they come to the Tamil film biz. There were a few humorous dialogues which were a part of the scene. Each time she was kissing me, she was forgetting the dialogues and when she did say the lines perfectly, the kiss went for a toss! In the process, she ended up kissing me on my cheeks thirty times,” he laughs.

Vishal adds, “The director went in for a variety of different-angled shots and finally he’ll keep only the best on the editing table.”

On opting for Prabhu Deva as director, Vishal said, “His track record with remakes is really good. He has a knack of projecting his heroes in a stylish way and his sense of humour is amazing. You can see touches of his original humour in Vedi.”

After Sandakozhi, Vishal says that he will be seen in an angry young man role.

“After shocking the audience with Avan Ivan, I deliberately chose this script, which is a wholesome family entertainer. The movie, which is scheduled for a September 29 release, will be a visual treat,” the actor assures confidently.
