| An actor injuring himself on the sets isn't a new phenomenon, but Karan Wahi, who plays Ranveer in Remix, never imagined he would hurt himself climbing down from a tree for a scene. Tarzan move
Karan was shooting in Uttan when the accident occurred. he recalled, "I was supposed to climb down a tree, all the time looking at Tia and making a slow descent. While doing so, my left leg slipped off the branch and I was left dangling mid-air. Only after I slipped, did I feel the excruciating pain that went through my leg." Secluded spot
It took 10 minutes for the unit members to get him off the tree, said the actor. "I think my injuries are more internal. I cannot sit properly, as I am unable to bend my left leg. As long as I am standing, there is no pain. It's only when I try to sit that the pain starts."
The location hampered Karan's recovery. "Uttan is a secluded beach quite far from civilisation. So getting medical aid or assistance was difficult," said a unitwala. Despite the injury, Karan continued to shoot — with a limp. "I cannot afford bunking my shoot, as we are on an outdoor schedule." Sports injuries
This isn't his first leg injury, "I have always been into sports, and used to such things. But while shooting, the consequences are more damaging."
For the moment, Karan is banking on balms and instant relief sprays. "I have been getting my thigh massaged amidst shots, so that it doesn't get too stiff. After I reach the city, I plan to go to a doctor and have it examined."
