Action
Scene
Shooting
The
incident
happened
while
shooting
for
a
scene
near
India-Pakistan
border
in
Kashmir.
Shivanna
was
supposed
to
chase
terrorists
on
a
snowmobile
and
shoot
them.
This
incident
happened
at
Kashmir's
Gulmarg.
Snowbike
Topples
During
the
filming
of
this
chase
scene,
Shivanna
was
sitting
in
the
pillion
seat
of
the
snowmobile.
Due
to
over
speeding,
the
snowmobile
toppled
which
threw
Shivanna
off
it.
Luckily,
Shivanna
landed
just
a
whisker
away
from
a
big
rock.
If
it
had
been
otherwise,
then
Shivanna
would
be
in
grave
danger.
Thankfully,
it
did
not
happen.
The
Snowmobile!
A
typical
snowmobile
on
an
average
weighs
900
kilograms.
Several
of
these
snowmobiles
were
used
for
filming
the
action
sequences
and
more
than
20
skilled
snowmobile
operators
were
hired
to
ride
them.
Vijay
Raghavendra
On
The
Incident
Vijay
Raghavendra
spoke
to
the
newspaper
regarding
the
incident.
He
said,
"It
all
happened
in
a
moment.
Everyone
fell
down,
like
it
happens
in
a
chain
reaction.
During
the
chase,
the
terrain
was
uphill.
One
after
the
other,
snowmobiles
slipped
and
toppled
thereby
throwing
all
of
us
off
it.
I
was
on
another
bike
and
I
feel
down
too.
The
moment
I
pulled
myself
up,
I
saw
that
Shivanna
had
also
toppled.
Thankfully,
none
of
us
got
hurt!"
Director's
Take
On
The
Incident
The
director
of
the
movie,
Narasimha,
also
said
a
few
words
about
the
incident.
"Gulmarg
is
only
7kms
away
from
the
Indo-Pak
border.
When
we
were
shooting
there,
the
snowmobiles
toppled
due
to
hilly
terrain."
"If
Shivanna
fell
in
any
other
manner,
there
would
have
been
some
serious
accidents
which
would
have
led
to
unimaginable
consequences!
I
am
very
grateful
to
God
for
not
letting
any
mishaps
take
place"
said
Narasimha,
the
director
of
Mass
Leader.
