But behind those stylish scenes is real hard work, and sometimes pain. Some stars take help from body doubles for risky shots, but many prefer doing their own stunts to keep it real. That’s when accidents happen. Even after getting hurt, most actors don’t stop for long and come back to shoot again, proving how tough they are.
Superstar Prabhas, who is working on multiple films, got injured on the sets of Fauji. It's a period film set in 1945, where he plays a British Army officer. The movie has many action scenes, and during one of them, Prabhas hurt his leg. He went to Italy for treatment and rested before coming back. Along with Fauji, he’s also shooting for The Raja Saab and Spirit.
King Shah Rukh Khan also got injured while filming King with director Siddharth Anand. He didn’t use a dupe and did the action himself. That’s when he got hurt. There was talk that he flew to the US for treatment, but no official update came. Still, he didn’t take a long break and continued shooting. With names like Deepika Padukone and Suhana Khan in the cast, the buzz around King is high.
Coming back to Tollywood, Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja injured his hand while filming Mass Jatara. Even though doctors told him to rest, he didn’t want to stop the shoot. After a minor surgery and six weeks of rest, he returned. Karthi, too, while filming Sardar 2, hurt his leg during a fight scene. Doctors told him to rest for a week, and after that, he wrapped up the shoot. Even Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur fell and got hurt while filming Decoit, but they continued shooting after first aid.
Bollywood actors also face such moments. Emraan Hashmi, shooting for Goodachari 2, hurt his neck during a stunt in Hyderabad. Still, he didn’t stop. Priyanka Chopra, while shooting for a Hollywood movie in Australia, got facial injuries. She posted her photo on social media and said these things happen. Even Raashi Khanna, during Farzi 2, got hurt, but said that when a role demands it, injuries don’t matter.
