Though 'Welcome Back' is in theory a comic entertainer, shooting for the film turned out to be quite challenging for lead John Abraham who ended up injuring himself quite often - Having sprained his back while riding a Hummer in the desserts in Dubai, the actor then injured himself while filming a action sequence which involved him banging his head on a glass table , a crucial scene in the film just before the interval.

John ended up hurting his head with several cuts and bruises and a doctor was immediately summoned on the sets to tend to his injury - though director Anees Bazmee was willing to postpone the shoot, John decided to conceal his bruises with make-up and continued shooting for the scene.

Confirming the news says Anees Bazmee, "John often joked that he ended up injuring himself shooting a comedy film,more than when he shoots action films. He concealed his bruises with make-up and continued shooting. It was the last scene and we were supposed to pack up after that, so he wanted to complete it".

Produced by Firoz A Nadiadwala, 'Welcome Back' directed by Anees Bazmee is scheduled to release 29th May 2015. The film stars John Abraham,Shruti Haasan,Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, Naseeruddin Shah, Dimple Kapadia, Shiney Ahuja and Ankita Srivastava.
