A couple of days ago, director Gunasekhar shared a picture of
Anushka Shetty offering a piece of cake to him with her right wrist wrapped in bandage, which went viral online. Apparently, the actress ���suffered a hairline fracture while filming for the climax episode��� of the period drama and shot for around 10 days through intense pain, while refusing a body double.
The film���s unit was shooting for an elaborate war sequence at a special set erected on the outskirts of the city. It is a re-enactment of how Rudrama Devi defends her kingdom when the Devagiri Sainyam (army of the kingdom of Devagiri) surrounds her fortress.
���It���s a gruelling war sequence that was shot for 40 days. Anushka suffered a hairline fracture on her wrist due to the sword fight sequences around the 30th day. The doctors advised her to take a break and Gunasekhar offered to complete the rest of the shoot using a body double.Anushka, however, refused to use a body double and continued to shoot regardless, to wrap up the film���s shoot,��� informs a source in the film���s unit, adding, ���She shot with five rolls of skin coloured bandage on her wrist and took pain killer injections to complete the shoot on time. Her commitment has left the whole film unit in awe,��� adds the source. The actress is still nursing her injured wrist, informs the source.
