Accident of Kangna costs producer
MUMBAI: Kangna Ranaut’s freak bike accident on the sets of Tanu Weds Manu in Jalandhar has burnt a hole in producer Sailesh Singh’s pocket - he claims to have incurred a loss of Rs 1.5 crore.
The actress injured her foot when the bike she was riding suddenly skidded. She is now back in Mumbai.
Sailesh now regrets not insuring the film. “I should have insured it. The tragic part is that I had spoken to an insurance agent on March 27 and we were supposed to get the film insured by end of the week. Unfortunately, the accident happened on March 28.” Now he has no choice but to grin and bear the loss.
The month-long shooting schedule in Punjab has been cancelled and Kangna’s co-actors, R Madhvan and Jimmy Shergill, were asked to pack up and go home. “I hope to get the combination dates of these three actors and resume the shoot by April 15. I think Kangna will be fine by then,” says Sailesh.
