AKSHAY INJURED UNDERWATER

Akshay Kumar's recently underwater stunt almost cost him his life, when the actor accidentally injured himself at a depth of about 75 ft. He was shooting in the Bahamas for 'Blue'- an action adventure set underwater that also stars Sanjay Dutt and Lara Dutta - near a real shipwreck that involved him indulging in underwater action with almost 35 sharks around. Although Akshay is a certified deep sea-diver, but the stunt went wrong when Akshay hit his head against the shipwreck and started bleeding. However, it was the cast and crew's timely intervention that the actor was saved at the nick of time. It was difficult to get Akshay out of the water immediately, so the crew just left everything and rushed to Akshay to cover his wound where the blood was oozing out. Though the shark trainers tried to cage the sharks and take them in the opposite direction. Akshay being the daredevil that he is, tried to brush it off as a minor mishap, but the entire unit was left shaken considering it was a very close call.

...shark trainers tried to cage the sharks...? :confused:
 
Should have put the actors in the cage & let the sharks be.
Mind you Shark wrangling could become another specialty course, as long as no animlas were hurt doing it. (Only joking)
