LAHORE: Actor Shaan was injured during the shooting of an action sequence for the Punjabi film Acha Gujjar. The actor was rushed to Razzaq Hospital in Shalimar Bagh, where he was treated for a minor back injury and discharged with orders of three weeks’ rest.
The incident had taken place in the Iqbal Town area of Lahore on Monday.
The film’s director, Masood Butt said that Shaan was shooting a duel with co-star Shafqat Cheema, who kidnaps Saima and Dua Qureshi in the scene. The actor is playing the lead role in the film.
Following the scene, Saima and Dua run towards Shaan and at this point a police car is supposed to arrive. Butt said that the driver had missed the mark for the scene and Shaan was hit by the car.
“He flew forward in the air around 7 feet, luckily he is alright and he will be resting,” said Butt.
Butt said that the hospital had discharged him with minor injuries and requested that he rest.

I still do not understand why something as educated and with as much potential as Shaan continues to do such horrible cinema. at some point, mediocrity stops being an excuse!

Many people seem to be objecting his working in such films, but don’t forget that if anytime in the future, there’s going to be a history of Punjabi cinema, he will be an important name in it. And why do we very often think that what doesn’t appeal us is necessarily awful? many people, specially the poor, still watch these films keenly. You want them to forget even the entertainment that they like, after they hardly find to eat?
