Despite managing the dates of the hottest stars of Indian filmdom, from Abhi and Ash to Vikram and Prithviraj, shooting for the stunt portions of Maniratnam’s ‘Raavana’ has been stalled. The reason? A serious injury of its stunt master Peter Haynes.

Peter Haynes met with an accident a month ago during the shoot of a Telugu film ‘Mahatheera’, after which he suffered from 19 fractures. The accident, which happened in February, has dearly costed two of the most anticipated films of the year, ‘Endhiran’ and ‘Raavana.

Says Peter Haynes himself about his injury, “I am part of both Rajini’s ‘Endhiran’ and Maniratnam’s ‘Raavana’. For ‘Endhiran’, a few action sequences were canned with me moving about in a wheel chair and instructing the stuntmen. “But that was possible only for a few milder stunt blocks,” he adds.

On account of Peter Haynes inability to involve in heavy duty stunts, the shooting of the action portions of both these films has been delayed.
