Pankaj Tripathi had a blackout on the Agneepath sets
In an old interview with Mashable India, Pankaj Tripathi took us back to a scene featuring him and his co-star Hrithik Roshan where he is stabbed by the latter. Talking about him performing his character’s death sequence, the actor shared that he held his breath for some time and then lost consciousness for a few seconds.
Pankaj Tripathi said, “3-4 (baar chaaku) ghopte hain toh maine saans ko rok liya tha. Aap dhyaan se dekho, aankhein laal dikh rahi hain meri uss scene mein. Wo kalpana nahin hai ki chaaku lagne par kya hota hoga (In the scene, I was stabbed 3-4 times. I held my breath. If you look it carefully, my eyes are red. I was trying to imagine how does it feel like getting stabbed).”
Remembering how he ended up having a blackout during the sequence, the Gangs of Wasseypur actor shared, “Mujhe yaad hai us shot ke 2-3 take mein main do-chaar seconds ke liye behosh ho gaya tha, gir gaya tha. Chalte shot mein dhap se gir gaya tha, blackout ho gaya tha kyunki main lambe samay tak saans ko rok liya honga (I had a blackout for a few seconds and fell because I held my breath for quite long).”
