Sanjay Dutt suffers injury on Bhoomi sets, continues shoot in excruciating pain

New Delhi: It is literally blood, sweat and tears in his comeback film 'Bhoomi' as despite suffering a rib fracture while shooting a sequence in Chambal, Sanjay Dutt decided to not take a break.

Praising the 57-year-old actor, producer Bhushan Kumar said, "We really appreciate that Sanjay has been shooting non-stop despite the excruciating pain that he must be in. He is truly a phenomenal person and actor."

The 'Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.' actor injured himself during the climax scene of Omung Kumar's movie that was being shot in the ravines of Chambal.

Producer Sandeep Singh said, "We were shooting the climax scene in the Chambal ravines and Sanjay was in an action sequence when he hurt himself in the rib cage. He must have been in a lot of pain, but he did not stop. Later when we went to the doctor, the x-ray showed a hairline fracture. We wanted to stop the shoot, but Baba insisted. Really commendable on his part."

Sanjay Dutt has been doubling up in pain but the next day happened to be an off day for the entire crew and he has managed to get some rest. Earlier, in the shoot Sanjay had also hurt his head during one of the action sequences.

The flick, which will hit the theatres on August 4, is a revenge drama that revolves around a father-daughter relationship that will be shot entirely in Uttar Pradesh.
