Hrithik Roshan is one accident-prone star.
Shooting for Agneepath was stalled after the actor went bleary-eyed when he got gulaal thrown in his eyes! A doctor had to be summoned on the sets.
A unit member reveals, "The shooting was on in Versova on Monday afternoon for the Ganpati sequence that earlier saw the actor suffer minor burns while handling a thali as reported 'All fired up'.
In this particular scene, some of the junior artistes got caught up in the moment and one of them flung colour in Duggu's eyes.
The stunned actor began screaming in pain. Pandemonium followed even as director Karan Malhotra immediately stopped the shooting."
Immense pain
The source adds that Karan made Hrithik sit down in a chair. "Water was splashed on the actor to wash the colour from his eyes. When that didn't work, cold towels and cotton wool was brought in to wipe the gulal out. All this while, HR was screaming in agony. A doctor was finally called in and painkillers were administered."
Shaken up
Shooting resumed only after an hour. "This is the first time that something has happened to Duggu's eyes and he was very shaken up about it.
Producer Karan Johar wanted to wrap up for the day but Roshan insisted that he was fine and left the shoot only after his work was done. He visited his eye specialist yesterday to make sure everything was fine." The star remained unavailable for comment.
