MUMBAI, India — Bollywood actor Nushrratt Bharuccha recently got a sprain in her leg during a song shoot for her ongoing film “Janhit Mein Jaari.”
The doctor, who examined Bharuccha, has advised her to give rest to her foot for a few days, resulting in a delay of the film shoot. The makers had created a huge set-up to shoot a massive Holi song, as per reports.
“We had started shooting for the Holi song on this massive set-up that was created, but during a highly choreographed dance sequence shoot, Nushrratt sprained her leg,” said a source from the production unit.
“Initially, she felt, she could take a break and continue shooting since a lot of crew members was a part of this. But after check-up and an X-Ray, the doctor has strictly advised resting her foot for 3-4 days.”
The makers of “Janhit Mein Jaari” have halted the shoot until Bharuccha recovers fully.
Labeled as “India’s first female franchise,” “Janhit Mein Jaari” will see Bharuccha essay the role of a family entertainer.
Talking about her role and the subject of the film, the “Pyaar Ka Punchnama” star expressed her excitement.
“‘Janhit Mein Jaari’ has an extremely interesting concept; from the moment I heard it, I just knew I had to be part of it,” she said.
“And collaborating with Raaj once again after ‘Dream Girl’ is an absolute delight! Excited to be part of India’s first female franchise being backed by Bhanushali Studios Ltd.”
Producer Vinod Bhanushali also expressed his thoughts about the upcoming film.
“I have always been an admirer of good storytelling that gets you thinking,” he said.
“‘Janhit Mein Jaari’ is exactly that. The story by Raaj is engrossing, moving, and sends a message in a fun, entertaining manner with the trademark Raaj Shaandilyaa humor. Nushrratt is going to break new grounds with her role and surprise audiences with this film.”
Written by Raaj Shaandilyaa, the film will be helmed by Jai Basantu Singh. “Janhit Mein Jaari” will also star Annu Kapoor, Anud Singh Dhaka, and Paritosh R. Tripathi.
