John Abraham reportedly suffered a near-fatality on the set of Shootout at Wadala.The incident occurred during the shooting of the film’s climactic scene. Co-star Anil Kapoor, who plays police officer Isaque Bagwan, was meant to shoot a blank bullet at Abraham from 15 feet away, but the bullet was fired at a distance of 1.5 metres, The Times of India reports.A source who witnessed the incident said: “There was utter panic all around. Everybody realised what could have happened if Kapoor timed his shot well. Gupta screamed and demanded an explanation for the miscalculation of distance.”The shot apparently grazed Abraham’s neck, but the bullet hit him with higher intensity than intended due to the close range, causing him to fall to the ground.Abraham, who plays gangster Manya Surve in the film, said: “It would have been all over for me on September 23. I still can’t believe that I am alive.“My neck was burnt and the wound is still there on my collar bone. It hurts. But I am carrying out my day-to-day work pretending as if nothing has happened. I shall definitely take a long time to forget what happened at Haffkine Institute. AP
