Shooting of 'Dishoom' scenes swapped after John Abraham's injury

Mumbai: The makers of the upcoming action-adventure film “Dishoom” have decided to swap actor John Abraham's action sequences with other scenes that require more dialogues and close-up shots due to his injury.

John, who injured his knee earlier this week while shooting for another film “Force 2” in Budapest, has been advised to take rest for the next three weeks and has been told not to indulge in any action shoot till the time he recovers completely. 

The “Welcome Back” actor has almost wrapped up the first schedule of “Dishoom”, which also stars Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Akshaye Khanna.

The second schedule required several action sequences to be shot in Abu Dhabi. However, keeping John's injury in mind, the makers have jointly decided to shoot other parts here and do the action sequences later.

“Considering John's health, the high octane action sequences have been swapped with dialogue oriented sequences of 'Dishoom',” the spokesperson of the film said in a statement.

“Dishoom” is directed by Rohit Dhawan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.
