Prasanna and Injury - The truth

Yes, Prasanna was injured in the sets day before yesterday. The whole inci(acci)dent is below. We were shooting the climax and there was a stunt where John shea has to punch Prasanna. We rehearsed everything and somehow the timing missed and the punch directly landed on Prasanna’s head. I was watching the whole thing in the monitor and realized immediately that the timing missed. Prasanna fell on the floor and I yelled ‘CUT’ immediately. Stunt coordinator Ian Mclaughlin and the doubles went near the spot with first aid kit and ice pack. Prasanna was totally shaken up and it was really a hard blow. Things came back to normal in 30 mins and Prasanna, like a real hero came back to the spot and finished the stunt.

In the mean time, I saw some reports in the media and even got fewer calls from my friends about the same. There is no rod involved and there are no stitches Prasanna is fine now and he is a good sport!

This real ACCIDENT should be in Special Edition DVD

Have a good weekend!

Follow up :- Just now director Myskin called me to enquire abt the incident News spread so fast and I told him ‘Nothing to worry!’

Shooting the climax!

We started shooting the Climax from yesterday. Its going to be a night shoot for the next four days. We have so much to do and everybody in the team is working so hard! Once the climax is wrapped, we will start the Prasanna - Sneha combo scenes again.  Okay, catch you all later - Bye!

The week starts!

Rigging the car!

We rigged the car for all the driving scenes.  The camera will be mounted in the car and I explained the actions for the scene. Actor will go for couple of drives, does all the actions and once he comes back, we will check the take. I also sat next to John sometimes whenever the frame is close on him. Prasanna has some driving scenes and one small stunt in the coming weeks. Its going to be fun! The picture has John shea, me, Brian Bentham (First AD) and Chris freilich my DP.

The week starts!
