The rigorous training
session under English footballer and choreographer Andy Ansah has taken a
toll on the cast members of Vivek Agnihotri’s next film, Goal.
First it was Raj Zutshi who sustained tremendous injury on the Achilles
tendon of his right foot, followed by Kushal Punjabi who fractured his right
arm and sprained his left forearm.
Now the rest of the gang including John Abraham, Bipasha Basu, Arshad Warsi
and Boman Irani are dreading the fact that may be next in the line.
No pain no gain
Informs a source, “The actors may refuse to acknowledge it but there’s much
anticipation among them. They have been practising for over 20 days and the
enthusiasm level just refuses to die down. But they’re playing safe now
seeing their fellow mates getting hurt.
” However, Andy has been insisting that even the injured actors attend the
workshops regularly. Even the actors are not complaining. Says Raj Zutshi,
“In spite of the searing pain I have been obstinate about attending the
training sessions. And why should I complain when my stamina is getting a
boost? I’m learning a new game.”
Zutshi was wearing a pair of oversized studs on the fateful day when his
tendon gave away. The actor has been undergoing the RICE treatment (rest,
ice packs, compression and elevated position).
Of late, the actor has been taking to the field. He says, “One of our Indian
coaches here got me some magical oil that I apply before I get busy playing
football. The oil simply numbs the portion and I don’t feel the pain.”
Darna zaroori hai
Ask him about the anxiety prevailing among the rest of the cast members and
he says, “We’re not the fussy types. All the guys have been slogging and it
will show in the film.” However, a cast member on condition of anonymity
says otherwise.
He says, “Bipasha has been a little terrified seeing Raj and Kushal hurt.
It’s apparent that she’s concerned about John. But John loves soccer and has
been turning a deaf ear to her pleadings.” The actress was unavailable for
comment.
When quizzed about it Vivek Agnihotri says, “It’s a part of the game. Andy
is going to be there with us for every single shot and we will take
necessary precautions to avoid any mishaps.”
