John Abraham Seriously Injured on Set

John Abraham had a nasty fall while filming a stunt on a moving train set of Force earlier this week.

Producer Vipul Shah confirmed the news to TOI.

"We were shooting a scene with two moving goods trains. John had to jump from one to another. Although all the precautions were taken, this is something that can never be controlled. He was supposed to land on his feet but he fell on his back, the compartment of the goods train was full of stones which hurt him badly. The impact with which he fell down was huge and that's why he got hurt badly. Both, my director Nishikant Kamath and I were extremely scared. We were scared that he might have severely injured his spinal chord. When we saw his back, he had as many as 40 injury marks and scratches all over. We somehow finished the shot as it was the last day of this schedule. He is now taking rest."

The film is a remake of the Surya-Jyothika starrer Kaakha Kaakha (Tamil). It revolves around a team of police officers who are experts in battling organized crime. John plays an encounter cop and Genelia D'Souza plays his love interest.

Filming began on November 1.

John was earlier hurt on set of Hook Ya Crook. He broke a bone on his foot and recovered after three weeks rest.
