In-spite of 17 stitches Ronit Roy continues to shoot for Hotstar's Hostages

Come hail, or storm; actors often go through a tough time to put a scene together. While shooting for Hotstar Specials Hostages, an outdoor scene required actor Ronit Roy to put up an action sequence surrounded by thorns and bare-feet in the middle of National Park, New Delhi. During a choreographed tussle between him and another actor, Ronit managed to injure himself. After an examination from the doctor on call, Ronit had to undergo 17 stitches on his wound in order to continue shooting.  

Speaking about this experience, Ronit Roy added, "It was the most difficult chase sequence towards the end of our shoot, while we shot for the climax in the national park in Delhi. It was not just me, but the entire unit was running through that forest.”
