A freak accident took place on the sets of this film wherein an assistant director got injured. The starcast was shooting in Mumbai when the accident took place. A speeding bike hit the assistant director who had earphones plugged in her ears communicating with the crew over walkie talkie. She was then immediately rushed to the hospital and is said to be fine now.

A statement from the producers as quoted by First Post reads, “In an unfortunate accident yesterday, one of the assistant directors of our film — ‘Fanney Khan’ — suffered some injuries during the shoot in Mumbai when a motor cycle rider crashed into her. She was immediately given first aid  and taken to the hospital for further treatment. She is completely fine now and will soon join the crew for the shoot. The police are dealing with the errant motorcyclist as per the due process of law.”

We tried to get in touch with the makers over the same but we did not get any confirmation though.

Aishwarya Rai is said to be present on location when the accident occur. She immediate rushed towards the injured crew member but was prevented from going close due to security reasons.

We just hope the injured crew member is safe.
