While Duggu suffered minor burns shooting an aarti scene, PC escaped unscathed but her lehenga caught fire and had to be change

An aarti scene found Agneepath stars Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra playing with fire quite literally. While Duggu suffered minor burns shooting the scene, PC escaped unscathed but her lehenga caught fire and had to be change.

This is HR's second accident on the sets of the Karan Johar production. He hurt his hand while breaking a coconut in an earlier scene. His accidents have proved lucky for his films in the past. We wonder if it will bring luck to this one too.

All in a day's work

A source recounts what happened: "Hrithik was shooting the Ganapati puja scene. He was holding a big thali with several lit diyas (lamps) and doing the aarti. During one rotation, one diya toppled over, spilling hot oil on his hand, scalding it.

No one was any wiser for it until Duggu rushed to apply ice on the affected area. When the crew understood, the shoot was immediately stopped. It wasn't a serious injury but Hrithik was in pain. He resumed shooting as soon as his pain subsided. He then joked about his injuries being lucky charms for his films."

Yesterday, on the second day of shooting the scene, "PC's lehenga caught fire from the diyas of aarti and got burnt at the edges. She noticed it quickly and wasn't hurt but had to change her lehenga and wear a new one, " reveals another source. Hrithik and PC were unavailable for comment.
