What happened on set?

Amitabh’s reaction

Avinash then described what transpired: “During that action sequence, I inadvertently struck him on the temple with my elbow. There is a video of it in my possession. Everyone on the set made fun of the fact that I would no longer receive any films. When I accidentally struck him, I believed my career had ended. On set, a pin-drop silence descended. However, the director did not indicate a cut, so I delivered a further strike that missed… Following the shoot, I approached him to apologize. He confirmed, “You did indeed strike me on the head.” Amidst my apprehension, I addressed him with the following: “Sir, may we conduct an additional rehearsal?” He addressed each individual individually and inquired, “Kahan se laaye ho inhe” (Where did you obtain him)? “I was then instructed, ‘Let’s conduct one more rehearsal.'”
