Oh no! Nora Fatehi was injured on the sets of Bhuj: The Pride of India

MUMBAI: Nora Fatehi displays pure professionalism in her performances. She sported an injury on her face in the first look of her upcoming film.  

The motion poster for 'Bhuj: The Pride of India' released, revealing the looks of the ensemble cast including Nora. While the different looks sets the tone for the period drama, her look as Heena Rehman specifically stands out as the actress sported real blood on her forehead for her character.  

Revealing details, the actress said, "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."  

She was 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 a sequence that required Nora's face to be smashed in a mirror, which was to be a VFX creation.
