Bollywood's favourite doctor on alert in Ladakh for YRF project

Shooting in Ladakh is not easy. Crew members of J P.Dutta’s LOC and Farhan Akhtar’s Lakshya fell ill complaining of breathlessness and suffocation caused by the vertiginous altitude on which the Ladakh region is located. During LOC two members of the crew actually lost their lives in Ladakh. No wonder, then, that Yash Chopra’s crew which is currently shooting in Ladakh, has taken all necessary precautions to deal with any kind of health matters that could arise. It is learnt that Bollywood’s favourite physician Dr R .L Agarwal has accompanied the cast and the core crew of his yet-untitled film. The cast includes Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma among others Says a source close to Yashraj, “Dr Agarwal has been in Ladakh from the day the team arrived. It’s pretty scary to shoot so high above sea level. Yashji’s crew feels much more comfortable with Dr Agarwal around. They were specially concerned about Yashji who is nearly 80. But you know what? Yashji is the fittest among all of them.” Luckily so far no crew or cast member has fallen ill.
