No Problem scene gets too real with a flying object (a thermos flask, to be precise) wounding Anil Kapoor's lips
Lips don't lie. Ask Anil Kapoor who even has a telltale wound! The actor incurred the reel wrath of co-star Sushmita Sen during the shoot of No Problem on Tuesday. It left his lips badly bruised for which he was administered five stitches.

The scene required Sush to throw stuff at him in anger. Among them was a thermos flask with sharp edges that scraped Anil's lips leaving a deep cut. As the shoot was in the hospital premises, the doctors rushed to his rescue.

Confirms Anil, "I was hurt while doing a shot with Sushmita who plays my wife. In a fit of anger, she threatens me with a thermos flask. The flask came flying on me and hit my lips. My face was splattered with blood."
He adds, "Fortunately, there was a plastic surgeon at the hospital. He stitched my lips. I had to cancel my shoot yesterday. I've never had to do that in my career."
The actor further states, "I had broken my leg while shooting for Hamla in 1992. That's the only time I got injured on the sets. This injury has given me thick lips -- I won't be able to kiss anybody for the next five days!"
No Problem is directed by Anees Bazmee and is produced by Rajat Rawail. "An injured Anil completed the sequence and sought medical aid," points out Rawail.

Anil Kapoor was bitten by co-actor Shakti Kapoor while shooting for No Problem last month. As reported ('Shakti bites Anil Kapoor'; MiD DAY, December 19), the scene required Shakti to be 'seen' sinking his teeth into his co-star's arm. But as the camera rolled, he dug his fangs deep into Anil's left arm. |
