As we count down the days to the highly anticipated movie, Akelli, the lead actress Nushrratt Bharuccha shared a rather unfortunate incident that happened while shooting for the film.
As they shot for an action-packed escape scene, Nushrratt fell hard on the marble floor, making her feel as if she was going to have a head concussion.
The pain was so much that he sat right on that spot holding her head, crying for almost half an hour. After getting examined by a doctor, Nushrratt was advised to rest for a couple of days after which she resumed shooting.
While recalling what exactly happened, she says ” We were shooting for the scene where I try to escape from captivity from the ISIS. I fell and hit the marble floor and the pain was so hard that I really thought that I’ve got a concussion and something has been damaged internally. The impact was so bad that for a minute I thought I was gonna die and it was my last moment. I was advised to take it easy for a couple of days and I couldn’t wait to get back to shooting. Akelli has truly been a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget about in my life.”
