Quoted by Hindustan Times, he further added, “In that action sequence, I hit him on his head with my elbow by mistake. I have a video of it. Everyone on the set was teasing me that I won’t get any films anymore. When I hit him by mistake I felt like my career was over. There was a pin-drop silence on set. But the director didn't say cut so I swung another blow but it did not hit him... After the shot, I went to him to say sorry. He said, ‘Yes, you hit me on my head.’ And in that fear, I asked him, ‘Sir, ek aur rehearsal kar le?’ He looked at everyone and said, ‘Kahan se laaye ho inhe?’ And then said to me, ‘Let’s do one more rehearsal’.” ALSO READ: Amitabh Bachchan In Legal TROUBLE As CAIT Imposes A Fine Of Rs 10 Lakhs For Engaging In ‘Misleading Advertisement’- Reports
