Arya, who is currently shooting for Naan Kadavul in Varanasi, had a close shave on Saturday. He fell from a huge temporary shed and escaped with minor injuries.

Speaking to India Glitz, Arya said, “I thank Almighty for a lucky escape. Though we sustained injuries, we are thankfully still alive.”

“We were shooting a stunt sequence there. During the stunt sequence, I got pushed and I fell on the pole placed several feet above the ground. I and the stunt artistes fell down on the banks of the Ganges. We sustained minor bruises.”

Arya was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital. After getting first-aid, the actor was back to business in the sets of Naan Kadavul.

Heaping laurels on Bala, Arya says, “I am thrilled working with such a talented director. He knows one’s strength and weaknesses and gets the job done accordingly.”

Arya is optimistic that his career would take a new turn after the release of Naan Kadavul.

“I have a friendly crew, and a director who is ready to teach you the basics of acting. I am absolutely fearless now,” says Arya.
