There is no denying the fact that Aamir Khan and his latest film Ghajini is the flavor of the season.
Right from Aamir’s cropped look to his chiseled physique to his six different looks in a song, everything about the film has managed to make news.
Ghajini is a film that is indeed special to the actor, as he has literally given it his all for this particular role. Not many know that apart from the intense and grueling workout sessions, Aamir also had two injuries whilst shooting for this film.
Here’s a shot by shot lowdown on how the Perfectionist Khan got injured on the sets of the film.
Aamir is seen chasing the villain (Pradeep Singh Rawat) in the narrow by-lanes of Sultan Bazaar in this particular shot. The shot required the actor to chase the villain and take a running dive to bring him down.
As soon as he takes the leap, Aamir feels his muscles buckled as he trips and falls on the ground with a thud but luckily for him, the floor has been covered with cloth sheets. Peter Hines -the action director – had apparently laid out a layer of thermocol and Aamir felt it was the sudden softness of this very thermocol that caused him to trip and fall.
While initially everyone thinks that it’s just a normal fall, unit members rush to Aamir’s aid when they saw him writhing in pain.
From the looks of it, Aamir seems to have caused a slight tear in his left hamstring and is in quite a bit of pain. Anxious crew members, meanwhile, look a bit worried about the actor’s well-being.
Aamir finds it even difficult to pick himself up and is offered a helping hand by director A.R. Murugadoss and other unit members. It’s finally time for some first aid and immediate medical attention.
The injury caused a delay in shooting the climax of the film and Aamir even spoke about this injury at length in his blog.
This was the second time that Aamir had injured himself (within a span of a few weeks) while shooting for Ghajini. Three weeks before this injury took place, Aamir had injured his inner right thigh, when he had to pick up a burly villain and slam him against the wall.
Shooting had to be stalled for a while (even then) till the actor recovered from his injury.
Surely, with the number of times he has injured his body while shooting for this film and with all those grueling training schedules, Ghajini is a film that Aamir won’t forget for a long time to come!
