Valiant Shreyas Necks Deadly 'Click'

Shreyas Talpade was in for a neck breaking experience.Well, almost. While canning Sangeeth Sivan's spine chilling 'Click', ST had to perform a stunt on the chilliest winter day of the month, worsened further by incessant downpour!

The shot to be canned required Talpade to fall backward off the third floor iron railing of a building. The harness and other precautions were in place; the assistant director though, got the timing wrong. And the actor practically escaped having his neck snapped as he fell upside down! The AD, thankfully, had the presence of mind to pull the harness in time and Talpade was left suspended inches above the ground!

"It was truly a scary experience and I did feel that there was a paranormal connection to it, since it was a film like this one," admits Talpade in a tabloid chat.

What's commendable, though, is that ST gathered his courage and performed the stunt himself, all over again, even as Sivan and crew members bit their knuckles to the bone. Bravo, Talpade!!
