the

was
likely
to

a
couple
of
hours
The

had
been
shooting

seems
to

the

of
the

of
1857,
in
the
historical
sites
of
Badami,
Aihole
and
Pattadakal
from
early
this

Abhishek
portrays
a
legendary
hero
of
the
first
war
of
Indian
Independence
in
the
film.
The
police
had
cordoned
off
the
monuments
in
view
of
the
shoot
to
keep
curious
onlookers
at
bay.
Lead
actors
of
his

suffering
injuries
during

had
been
giving
anxious
moments
to
Mani
Ratnam
for
some
time
now.

may
be
recalled
that
Vivek
Oberoi
sustained
a
fracture
in
his
leg
while

a
stunt
scene
for
Yuva,
the
ace
director's
previous
Hindi
flick,
on
the
Vidyasagar
Bridge
over
river
Hoogly
in
Kolkata.
It
had
dealt
a
severe
blow
on
the
filmmaker,
who
also
suffered
a
heart
attack
seeing
the
accident
from
close
quarters.
The
incident
had
led
to
the
production
unit
abandoning
the
shoot
for
the
next
few
days.
