Cinematographer Ravi Varman injured on the sets of Ram Leela
MUMBAI: Cinematographer Ravi Varman, whose visuals in Anurag Basu`s Barfi fetched him several accolades, was injured while shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s film Ram Leela.
Varman fractured his hand, putting a question mark on the rest of the schedule. The film features Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone in lead roles and is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Said a member of the unit, “Sanjay Sir was of the opinnion that we immediately wrap up the rest of the schedule, however, Varmanji didn`t want Deepika Padukone`s and Ranveer Singh`s dates to go to waste. So he went along. But soon, the pain became unbearable and it turned impossible for him to wield the camera with the fractured hand. Sanjay Sir has now called off the rest of the schedule (two days) till Varmanji is ok.”
It is believed that the losses are minimal as only two days of shooting remained.
Accidents are a regular feature on the sets of a Bhansali film. Last time, a light man Subhash Morkar (40) fell to death while he was handling the lights on the sets on the sets of Devdas at Filmistan Studios.
