Veteran actor Suniel Shetty sustained a serious injury while filming an action sequence for his upcoming web series Hunter in Mumbai.
The incident occurred during an intense fight scene involving several action performers, where a wooden log prop was accidentally mishandled.
The sequence, designed to showcase Shetty’s renowned commitment to performing his own stunts, took a dangerous turn when the log struck him directly in the rib cage. Sources close to the development revealed that the impact caused significant pain, prompting immediate medical attention on set.
Despite his long-standing reputation for executing high-intensity action sequences, Shetty’s injury appeared to be severe enough to raise concerns among the cast and crew. A doctor was quickly called to the scene, and an X-ray machine was brought in to assess the extent of the damage.
Fortunately, the X-ray results have not shown any fractures or internal injuries, though the full implications of the injury are still being evaluated.
Shetty, who is well-known for his dedication to performing stunts with authenticity and precision, has always pushed the boundaries of action filmmaking. His commitment to physically demanding roles has earned him a loyal fan base and respect within the industry.
However, this incident has served as a stark reminder of the inherent risks associated with action filmmaking.
The actor, who is also gearing up for the release of Welcome to the Jungle alongside Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal, is expected to take time to recover from the injury.
