Anjali and Kapil stranded mid-sea

The unit of Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat had to shoot a boat sequence as part of a honeymoon sequence. It was earlier planned to shoot on shore only and not venture into the deep waters. But director Pawan Kumar and producer took a last minute call and decided to venture deep into the sea. All went well until the boat’s engine suddenly stopped and would not start however hard the driver tried. As a result the entire unit was stuck in the middle of nowhere and panicked when the boat started rocking because of the rough weather. They soon started making a few emergency calls. And after much panic and chaos the boat re-started much to everyone’s relief! The lead actor Kapil Nirmal reminisces, “We were shooting in the middle of a sea and suddenly the engine broke off and all attempts to re-start went in vain. Anjali Abrol, the assistant director and me were stranded in the middle of nowhere for around 45 minutes. Anjali was a bit panicky but later we started enjoying as the cool breeze was flowing. But finally the engine started and we all returned to the shore safely.” So all’s well that ends well.
