Mumbai: Popular as ‘Dashing Dutt’ in Bollywood, Sanjay aka Sanju Baba recently did a real life ‘Munnabhai’ act, when the dashing actor rushed to the aid of a seriously injured lightman.
According to the latest Bollywood news, during the shooting of Sohail Maklai’s ‘Knockout’, a lightman, Purushottam, was gravely injured. The lightman, who suffered serious head injuries, was rushed to hospital by none other than Sanjay Dutt and producer Sohail Maklai.
It is believed that Sanjay personally escorted the lightman to the hospital and ensured the best treatment for the same.
Talking to a news daily, a source present on the movie sets said, “The shot was being taken near the canteen at Mehboob Studios when the lightman probably got electrocuted and fell down. The shoot was stopped. Everyone rushed to his aid as he was badly injured. His head was bleeding profusely and Sanjay, who was shooting there, was extremely concerned. He immediately asked his producer Sohail Maklai to get his car and asked a couple of guys to take him to Lilavati Hospital. Sanjay went with Sohail in his car and personally ensured that the guy was put through CT Scans and was taken care of immediately.”
When enquired, Hussain Shaikh, the executive producer of ‘Knockout,’ confirmed the news and said, “The lightman Purushottam was injured. We are still unclear about how he fell, but it was probably due to an electric shock. He is out of danger, but he received multiple stitches on his head. Thankfully, he was in his senses till we took him to the hospital. Sanju and Sohailbhai were also present when he was in Lilavati hospital. We have now shifted him to Nanavati hospital, to be kept under observation.”
