Imran Khan continues shoot despite injury

Director Milan Luthria is mighty impressed with Imran Khan when Imran continued shooting despite a bad neck injury. So much so that the filmmaker has gone ahead and paid young Imran one heck of a compliment — by likening his commitment towards work with that of his uncle Aamir Khan.

Director Milan Luthria is mighty impressed with Imran Khan. So much so that the filmmaker has gone ahead and paid young Imran one heck of a compliment — by likening his commitment towards work with that of his uncle Aamir Khan.

Here’s what exactly earned Imran the words of praise from Luthria. While shooting a fight sequence for their upcoming release, Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara (OUATIMD), it seems Imran had hurt himself (a bad neck injury). But, instead of calling for a time out, he continued to shoot.

Milan says, “We were shooting a scene where he (Imran) had to fall and tumble three-four times on the pavement and roads. No matter how you do it, it’s going to hurt. It was only two-three days after shooting the scene that Sonakshi (Sinha) mentioned that Imran seems to be in a lot of pain. That’s when I realised that he was trying his best to hide it.” Imran was in pain for a week, and he was shooting two films simultaneously — OUATIMD at night, and Gori Tere Pyaar Mein during the day.
