Varun Dhawan, who will be seen next in Sriram
Raghavan's Badlapur, was shooting the last leg of
the film's schedule in a Mumbai studio.What
transpired left his co-star Vinay Pathak in a
hospital and Varun guilt stricken. Revealed a source close to the production, "It was late at night and the two actors were shooting a
scene with Radhika Apte. As part of the scene,
Varun had to shove Vinay really hard. Varun who was immersed in the scene gave Vinay a power-packed push. Vinay collapsed on the floor and couldn't get back on his feet." As the actor writhed in pain,
everyone present on the set panicked. "They
shoot was put on hold and Vinay was wheeled to
a nearby medical facility. He was diagnosed with
a hairline fracture," the source added. When contacted, Varun told Mirror, "It was a
difficult scene and I didn't mean to hurt Vinay. My
character in the film, Raghu, has shades of grey
and there are several fight scenes," he said. "This
is not the first time someone has got injured.
Even Nawaz (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) and I have
been injured in the past but not as seriously as
Vinay." Varun reveals that the film wrapped up on
Independence Day. And freed him of the heavy
beard he has been wearing since the past few
months. "I couldn't wait to get rid of it, I was so
thrilled to finally shave it off," he reminisces with
a laugh.
