Though the film is entitled No Problem there seemed to be an eerie amount of problems on the sets of Anees Bazmi, ha ha,
comedy at Film City on Wednesday afternoon.
First it was Anil Kapoor who was injured by a thermos flash, seriously enough to get stitches on his lip.
An hour later during the same schedule Anil's co-star Sushmita Sen literally gave blood to the project when she accidently
cut her own left hand with a sharp knife.
"It was a bloody Wednesday for us at Film City, " shudders Anees Bazmi. "We had barely gotten Anil's injury repaired when
Sushmita cut her hand, and very badly. It was a shot where she held a knife in her right hand and an apple in her left. She
was supposed to hit the apple with her hand. She instead hit her hand."
While the shot was on Sushmita didn't let anyone know what happened.
"It was only after I called 'cut' that I saw how serious Sushmita had cut her hand. There was blood everywhere. And still ,
look at the lady's spirit! She joked, 'Aneesbhai I've literally given blood for this film, " marvels Anees.
Though Sushmita needed stitches for her wound she refused.
Says Anees, "She said, 'Scar hoga to dekha jayega'. But I didn't leave anything to chance. I decided to immediately wrap
up the schedule. Sometimes God has his own way of warning us about disaster. Two serious accidents on one day was
warning enough."
Now Anees has cancelled the rest of the No Problem schedule. "We'll complete the remaining 3-4 days in the next
schedule. Better safe than sorry."
