Ranveer Singh was injured on the head while shooting the climax of Padmavati, a source close to the actor said, adding that he sought medical aid and returned to shoot soon after.
The incident took place at the film’s set on Thursday, the source said. “Ranveer hurt himself on the head while shooting for the film during a particular take but he was so engrossed in the performance that he did not realise it till cut was called. It was only after he started bleeding profusely from the head and the ‘cut’ was called did everyone realise that he was hurt badly.”
The source continued, “Ranveer received initial first aid on the set and was rushed immediately to a nearby hospital for treatment. He completed the basic treatment and returned to the film’s set to complete his portions of the shoot. Rather than let his injury slow him down or impact the shoot, Ranveer completed the day’s work. He requires stitches on the head.”
The actor will be see as Alauddin Khilji in the period drama, which also features Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor. It is being directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
