NEW DELHI: Shedding the image of a ‘chocolate boy’ has turned quite challenging for Varun Dhawan. Shooting for a new film with different concept than he’s done in the past, he tried hard to prove himself. In doing so, he hit Vinay Pathak with such force that it landed him in hospital.
Varun and Vinay were wrapping the last leg of the film Badlapur, where Varun had to punch Vinay. The scene was shot and Varun’s power packed punch hit Vinay hard. The crew panicked as Vinay could not get up back on his feet and rushed him to a hospital nearby. Later, he was detected with hairline fracture in his shoulder and advised rest.
Recollecting the incident, Varun mentioned that it was a difficult scene and he also clarified that he didn’t mean to hurt his co-star Vinay. He also further added that this is not the first time someone has been injured on the sets. Previously, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Varun himself have been a victim of such mishaps.
Varun will be playing the role of Raghu in the film, who has shades of grey. Opposite him will be Yami Gautam who will be playing his wife. It also features Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Huma Qureshi and Radhika Apte in prominent roles. Huma will be seen doing a character of a prostitute.
Produced by Illuminati Films, the shoot of Badlapur was completed on August 15, on the occasion of Independence Day. It also threw a wrap up party to mark the occasion.
