Abbas gets injured doing a somersault!

One should not attempt to do things that are beyond one's capability. Actor Abbas learnt it the hard way. In his over eagerness, he did a somersault and broke his left hand.

Though it is rare to see Abbas in Tamil films, he makes frequent appearances in Telugu films. He is now the hero of a Telugu film 'Ruthramani' and the shooting is going on in Hyderabad.

In a fight scene, Abbas is supposed to clash with villain Sathyaprakash. Stunt master Prakash planned to use a dupe for a scene where Abbas is to do a somersault. But Abbas turned down the suggestion, even when director Khalil advised using a dupe. He wanted to do the action himself.

As luck would have it, Abbas lost grip and hurt his left hand and it started to bleed. Shooting was stopped. Abbas was taken to the hospital and treated. There are varying reports - one that he has been only slightly hurt and another that he has broken his arm.

But one thing is for sure. That Abbas got hurt when doing a somersault and landed in hospital!
