Rajeev Khandelwal injured on sets of Table No 21

7 Jul 2012

Rajeev Khandelwal injured his shoulder and back while shooting for an action sequence in Fiji for his upcoming thriller Table No 21.

The scene was a risky action sequence being shot at the crowded Traps Bar in Suva. Director Aditya Datt wanted to use a stunt double but Rajeev insisted on doing the stunt himself. A junior artist miscalculated the timing of the stunt due to which Rajeev fell flat on the hard concrete surface injuring his back and shoulder.

The doctor advised Rajeev not to indulge in any heavy duty action sequences and take it easy for a few days. As a result, Aditya has postponed the shoot of all the difficult action sequences and currently all the drama scenes are being shot.

Table No 21 marks the Bollywood debut of model turned actress Tena Desae of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel fame. The film also stars Paresh Rawal in a pivotal role.
