Bhuj The Pride Of India: Nora Fatehi's First Look From The Film Features A Real Injury
Nora Fatehi's blood oozing look from 'Bhuj: The Pride of India' is real. Read on.
Nora Fatehi displayed sheer professionalism by sporting a real injury on her face in the first look of her upcoming film. The motion poster for one of the most anticipated films of the year Bhuj: The Pride of India released recently and revealed the looks of the ensemble cast including Nora Fatehi. While the different looks set the tone for the period drama, Nora Fatehi's look as Heena Rehman specifically stands out as the actress sported real blood on her forehead for her character.
Revealing the unfortunate accident of her injury, Nora Fatehi shares, "We were shooting for an action sequence and the director wanted to shoot the scene in a single take with one camera, hence my co-actor and I rehearsed the action choreography wherein he holds a gun to my face and I flick the gun out of his hands to start beating him up. It went perfect in our rehearsals which was literally five minutes before the take, however, when we started rolling the actual take, the coordination was off and the actor accidentally threw the gun to my face, due to which the end of the metal gun, which was by the way, really heavy, hit my forehead causing an injury and blood gushing out."
The actress was immediately rushed to a hospital as the injury caused swelling and blood loss, almost leaving her unconscious due to the pain.

Incidentally, the injury worked out for the film as a sequence required Nora's face to be smashed in a mirror, which was ideally supposed to be a VFX creation. However, with Nora's accident, the team decided to use her real wound.
Revealing another interesting anecdote, Nora Fatehi shares, "Later that day, we shot for another action scene, it was a chase sequence that demanded running, action and fast-paced movements. During the shoot, I fell injuring my fingers really bad, because of which I had to wear a sling throughout the shoot. In all, it was a physically tough sequence, wherein I got hurt a lot as I executed all my scenes myself without any stunt double, but I wear my scars with pride as it offered me an outstanding learning experience that I'd cherish for a lifetime."
Apart from Bhuj: The Pride of India, Nora Fatehi has several intriguing projets in her kitty, which are expected to be announced soon.
Bhuj: The Pride of India features Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Parineeti Chopra, Sonakshi Sinha, Rana Daggubati, Nora Fatehi and Ammy Virk in pivotal roles.
