more time to romance Aishwarya Rai
Bachchan on screen in Atul Manjrekar's
Fanney Khan. It seems destiny has some
other plans for the two actors whose film is
being produced by Rakeysh Omprakash
Mehra and Prernaa Arora and Arjun N
Kapoor. A few days ago the first schedule
between Aishwarya and Rajkummar got
cancelled as her outfits were not ready on
time. Now that schedule which had been
postponed to October 26 is not happening
as the actor fractured his ankle on the sets
of Farah Khan's show Lip Sing Battle which
is aired on Star Plus.
Says a source, "It happened on Saturday
when Rajkummar was shooting for Farah's
show. He was trying to jump from a height
during rehearsals and hit a matka while
dancing to Chin Ta Ta Chinta Chita' from
Rowdy Rathore but lost his balance. Raj was
doing a taekwondo turn n kick in air. He did
it perfectly all six times that he rehearsed
but on the seventh time just landed badly
and fell at an awkward angle and fractured
his ankle. As it was his starting act, the
shoot was immediately cancelled. He was in
a great deal of pain so Farah put him in her
car and took him to the Kokilaben Hospital.
It wasn't very responsible for Rajkummar to
do such a tough dance step without much
rehearsal that too, just four days before
his Fanney Khan shoot with Aishwarya Rai
Bachchan. Poor guy, he's feeling very upset
as it's never happened to him till now and
for letting Ash down but sometimes these
things happen.
The source says, "The consequences are
tremendous. Rajkummar may undergo a
surgery today or tomorrow. His dates with
Aishwarya were from October 26 but
obviously now he won't be able to shoot so
soon. The actor will have to rest it out for
the next couple of weeks which means
Aishwarya's dates will get wasted. She's
been informed about it and is naturally
concerned about Raj. Aishwarya is also a
thorough professional and has an
extremely busy date diary so one wonders
what will happen on those combination
dates of hers and Rajkummar?
Producer of Fanney Khan, Prernaa Arora
says, "It is rather unfortunate that
Rajkummar Rao has fractured his leg. Yes
he has surgery scheduled for the same. I
hope he gets well soon and yes we will
have to postpone the shoot of Fanney Khan.
We will figure the dates once we know
when Raj will recover and get a clearance
from his doctors.
The other actor in the film, Anil Kapoor has
completed some of his portions in it.
Aishwarya is yet to shoot. The shoot with
Rajkummar was to happen post Diwali but
till the doctors give a clearance nobody
knows when the actor will begin his shoot
with her.
