The ‘Journey....Bombay To Goa' was after all not too happy all the way.
Actor Vijay Raaz had to drive a bus for a scene. The rest of the actors were the passengers of the bus. Vijay
had two tasks in his mind – the perfection of the shot and also driving carefully on the road.
Unfortunately, the actor took over and Vijay got engrossed in the shot. He was so much into the perfection of
the shot that he did not realize a car right on front of the bus. Confused and in an effort to save the car, Vijay
steered the bus to the left side.
But it made matters worse as the bus got off the road and was out of
control.
Somehow, Vijay took control of the situation and managed to stop the bus by banging it into a mud hill. The
whole cast and crew was in a state of shock when they realized how close they were to death.
Though the bus had stooped but it would have toppled into the valley had it moved another few foot ahead. By
God's grace, the actors suffered a few minor scratches.
However, this incident did not dampen the spirits of the actors and overcoming all fears, they continued with
the shoot.
