3 cars for Hrithik's troubled back

5 May 2014

The shooting of Siddharth Anand's Bang Bang is getting progressively complicated. And it's got nothing to do the film's leading man Hrithik Roshan's domestic problems. According to sources close to the project, Hrithik never brings his personal crisis into the picture.

The problem lies somewhere else.

Apparently, Hrithik's back problem has aggravated to the extent that he needs to travel in three cars.

Saysa source from the Bang Bang team, "Hrithik is often in excruciating pain. He can't sit in one position or even in one kind of seat for more than half an hour." Therefore Hrithik travels in three cars to locations.

Says the source, "Hrithik has to keep changing his seating position. He cannot travel in the same car for a long duration. He therefore travels with a fleet three cars all speeding bumper-to-bumper. He gets out of one car after a while, gets into another car and then gets into the third one to make sure his back is not subjected to an identical seating position for too long." This mode of travel slows down the crew's pace. But no one is complaining.

Says the source, "Hrithik is going through a lot emotionally and physically. He doesn't discuss his marital problems with anyone. He never brings his home stress to work. As far as his health is concerned, the Bang Bang teamis trying its best to make Hrithik the least uncomfortable. But it's not easy for him to shoot with that back." With the film's producers adamant on releasing the film on October 2, Hrithik Roshan is racing against time.

"But he will make it. It's a commitment he has made. Hrithik's back problem is at its worst right now. But he isn't giving up. He's a fighter. The film has complicated action scenes. And he's sailing through them. Seeing him in Bang Bang, the audience won't be able to guess that Hrithik was in too much pain off camera to even travel in one car for long stretches of time," says the source.
