When Yuvaraj nearly hit a co-star with an actual bottle

For Yuvaraj, who makes his debut with the upcoming Asthitva, the making of the film has been quite the learning experience. The actor, who was given a lifestyle change in preparation for his role as a common man, also learnt that film props are not meant to be real. 'We were shooting for an action sequence and one of the spot boys handed me a bottle that I was to smash on the extra's head.The spot boy was relatively new on the job, but I did not think anything was amiss and proceeded with the shot. When the stunt coordinator said 'action', I raised the bottle and was all set to smash it on the guy, when I suddenly wondered if he would get hurt on impact. I was told that he wouldn't, but when the crew then examined the bottle, they realized that I had been given a real one, which, when hit with the force I intended to, would have definitely hurt the guy. After that, I was extra cautious about using any of the props that were handed to me,' says Yuvaraj.
