ALL SET - PRIYANKA CHOPRA

Ribbed for pain

Vishal Bhardwayj is forced to start the Coorg pre-production schedule of Saat Khoon Maaf despite a cute pain caused by a fractured rib....

        When it comes to films, Vishal Bhardwau is as passionate as they come. But for once, this passion is giving him as much pain as it usually gives joy. Around 10 days ago, Vishal had a bad fall while playing tennis and X-rays showed a hairline fracture on his ribs.

          But with the schedule of Saat Khoon maaf so close, he couldn't afford to postpone the pre-production of the film and headed to Coorg, even though hed been advised rest and minimal movement. The actual shooting starts on March 15.

          Our shource said, "Vishal left for Coorg as he had no option the actors (Yep, that includes Priyanka, Mohanlal, Naseerudeen Shah, Neil Nitin Mukesh, John Abraham and Arshad Warsi...) will start shooting from Mrach 15 and he had to complete the basic shots in advance.

       He's restricted to his chair. But Vishal is managing to issue instructions and run the show from his chair. The biggest problem is that the nights in Coorg are quite cold and that's aggravating his pain. He needs a month's rest to fully recover, but he's pushing himself."
