Apparently Shahid has got burn injuries on his back and hand and would need some time to recover fully.
Says a source very close the film, `We were shooting a fire sequence when the chemical used to create the fire went awry. It singed Shahid's shoulder and hand. It could've been much worse. Thankfully nothing serious happened. `
The stunts in Rambo Rajkumar are getting more and more dare-devilish as Prabhudheva wants them to be one-up on what Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar did in Wanted and Rowdy Rathore.
Says the source, `When Shahid decided to do his first action film he had to make sure the stunts were of the never-before variety. That's why he waited so long to do an action film and even opted out of his friend Siddharth Anand's Bang Bang. `
Not too many know this. But Bang Bang was a project that was planned with Shahid. Says the source, `But then somewhere down the line Shahid preferred Prabhu's project as his first attempt at the action genre. Bang Bang is a remake of a Tom Cruise actioner Knight & Day and Shahid didn't want his stunts to be compared with Cruise. Rambo Rajkumar is an original. `
When contacted Prabhudheva refrained from commenting on the injury but did mention that he's taking a break with his two sons.
`We're going to Australia for a holiday. During my vacation with my kids I'll also unveil the first look of Girish Taurani's debut film Ramaiya Vastavaiya at the Melbourne Film Festival, ` Prabhu informed before taking off.
