The top Kannada actor and director Sudeep was injured on the sets of ‘Kempe Gowda’ in an action scene at Thailur village near Maddur taluk. In the house set the filmy bombs hidden in the pots under the ground exploded resulting in minor injuries to Sudeep. He was a few feet away from the explosion yet there was some injuries to his back and he received injuries to his legs.

Producer Shankare Gowda immediately cancelled the shooting of ‘Kempe Gowda’ (remake of Tamil film Singam) and provided the necessary medical aid for Sudeep.

Sudeep was ready to complete the remaining portions but he was compelled to take rest. ‘I have received minor blows nothing to worry’ stated Sudeep later on.
