Srikanth is currently engaged on 'Paagan', a commercial entertainer. A bomb blast scene was recently shot for which, reportedly for the primary time in India, a Sony F65 camera (captures scenes during fire) was used. Srikanth performed on this scene with out a dupe; however, he escaped an accident narrowly as his safety rope got cut throughout the shoot!
"I meet with accidents for all my films; I WILL say there is a strong bond between fire and me. Call me an accident baby", he jokingly says.
"I needless to say a dupe artist has a family as well, if it is a risk for me so it's for him! We had several rehearsals and by then the rope became weak, it tore throughout the take. I slipped and luckily, in a split second I USED TO BE out of where where the bomb blast happened! The stunt artists pulled my rope in place of me as they did not understand it got cut, I CANNOT believe I escaped", the star adds.
'Paagan' stars Srikanth and Janani Iyer within the lead roles.
