Actor Vicky Kaushal has reportedly broken his cheekbone while shooting an action sequence for his untitled horror film in Gujarat, and had to get 13 stitches. The Uri actor was shooting inside a ship for Bhanu Pratap Singh’s film, which also stars Bhumi Pednekar.

A Mumbai Mirror report claimed the night sequence involved Vicky opening a door and running. The door fell on him and he was injured. “He was rushed to a local hospital by the crew and flown to Mumbai on Friday morning,” the report quoted a source as saying. The tabloid further reported that Vicky will return to Mumbai where he will consult a doctor again.

Bhanu makes his directorial debut with the yet-to-be-titled film. He was earlier Shashank Khaitan’s assistant director. Bhumi and Vicky will also be seen together in Karan Johar’s period epic Takht, alongside Anil Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt and Janhvi Kapoor.

Vicky recently headlined the box office hit Uri: The Surgical Strike, based on the Indian Army’s 2016 surgical strikes in Pakistan following the attacks in Jammu and Kashmir’s Uri town. The film is Vicky’s biggest hit and one of the highest grossers of 2019.

Bhumi, on the other hand, is currently shooting for producer Anurag Kashyap’s Saand Ki Aankh in Uttar Pradesh. Based on shooters Chandro Tomar and her sister in law Prakashi Tomar, better known as Shooter Dadis, the film also stars Vineet Kumar Singh and Taapsee Pannu and is directed by Tushar Hiranandani.
