New Delhi: Actress Alia Bhatt got injured on the sets of 'Brahmastra' in Bulgaria while shooting an action sequence. The actress hurt her right arm and shoulder, a DNA report claimed on Tuesday. 

Alia is currently shooting in Bulgaria for Ayan Mukerji's film opposite Ranbir Kapoor. She has reportedly been advised to take rest and may not be able to shoot for 15 days.

“The team was shooting for a scene when Alia fell and hurt herself. She has injured her right shoulder and arm. There’s a clot in her arm, so she has been advised bed rest. She is in a lot of pain. Her right arm is bandaged and held up in a sling, so she can’t exert it or her shoulder for the next 15 days," the tabloid quoted a source as saying,

The 'Brahmastra' team was supposed to wrap up the shoot in Bulgaria and return to Mumbai by the end of March. But Alia's injury has stalled the shoot and the team is now looking for options, “In the current scenario, Alia can’t film any stunt sequences. She can only shoot for close-up scenes and the team is checking if they would need any right now, " a source told DNA.

'Brahmastra' is the first instalment of the upcoming fantasy adventure trilogy by Ayan Mukerji. The film will bring Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir and Alia together for the first time and is slated to release on Independence Day, August 15, 2019.
