John Abraham suffers a freak accident on sets of ‘Pagalpanti’

John Abraham is associated these days with action thrillers with a tinge of reality and nationalism. However, to add a little bit of fun to his film schedules, the actor manages to do a one off comedy film from time to time. He is currently busy shooting for Anees Bazmee’s ‘Pagalpanti’. While he hardly gets injured on the sets of his action films, he managed to hurt himself in a freakish accident on sets of this comedy ensemble film.

Yes, you read that right. John had a freak accident a couple of days back during the shoot schedule at Mehboob Studio. He suffered from a muscle tear while filming an action sequence in a truck. John ended up with a muscle tear in his arm. As per a report on Mumbai Mirror, he won’t be able to shoot for the next few weeks.

A source from the sets of the movie informed Mumbai Mirror, “John has been advised rest for the next 20 days to avoid aggravating the injury. His co-actors Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Pulkit Samrat, Ileana D’çruz and Kriti Kharbanda were also a part of the scene.”

The news was also confirmed by the producer of the film, Kumar Mangat. He is producing the film with Bhushan Kumar and his son Abhishek Pathak. Speaking to Mumbai Mirror, he said, “It was a simple shot, but mistiming caused the injury. Ninety per cent of our shoot has been completed in London and Leeds. This is the last schedule in Mumbai which we will have to reschedule now. After a week, we will decide when to resume depending on how quickly he recovers. We will wrap up the film by June end.”

Taking of the film, it will see John playing a down-on-luck commoner, Raj Kishore. His character is constantly changing jobs, but failing all the time. In the ladies department, Ileana will be playing Sanjana, Raj’s lady love. She constantly lands in trouble because of Raj. From what it seems, the film promises to be a laugh riot.
