Dabaang 2 : Meetings & Decisions - behind closed doors

Dabaang 2 is a special project for the Khan brothers as it will mark the debut of the actor-turned producer-director, Arbaaz Khan. But when the recent fire mishap(click here for detailed report) happened at the sets, this really shocked the crew and it is said that Arbaaz was quick to call off the shoot for Sunday. He also is calling up the production crew to report back to him to learn what went wrong with the sequence. The rumors are that the Khan's are also doing the meetings and all is done behind closed doors. 

"Salman bhai was shocked that something like this could have happened for a film of his. Thankfully all three injured men survived but things could have gone worse. Arbaaz bhai (who is doubling up as a producer and a director) immediately cancelled the Sunday shoot though he instructed his production team to report for work. The agenda was not just to find out how the incident had occurred but also identify measures to be taken so that none of that is repeated." says a source at the sets. 

It is said that Salman Khan is also getting involved in the meetings as he never likes his crew members getting hurt. "Those in charge of action, sets and power supply have been asked to adhere to the guidelines. Both brothers are mighty upset with the incident. They were also fully aware that rest of the crew wouldn't have been in a good frame of mind to continue shooting on the very next day and hence cancelled the Sunday shoot. However work resumed on Monday, though with a far stricter check. It is business as usual now but both Arbaaz and Salman would be keeping a close eye on how the days progress" adds the source.

Arbaaz later reported back to the media "All of them are out of danger. In fact two of them would be discharged soon while the third would take four-five weeks to recuperate. However good care is being taken of him. We are sad and disappointed that this happened on our sets. We had an all-heads meeting on Sunday and there are a list of do's and don'ts shared all over again. Such mishaps are unacceptable and we are taking extra measures to ensure there is no repeat."

Salman Khan still does stunts!

Salman, who is suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia - a neuropathic disorder, was earlier advised by the medical crew that he shouldn't be doing stunt scenes(click here for the report). But it seems that it is not been followed by the actor who was recently seen shooting stunt scenes for Dabaang 2. It is said that the crew is taking extreme care on the stunts that are performed by Salman. Especially his safety lines have been hiked following the mishap at the Mehboob studios. 

Salman Khan was shooting the intro sequences for Dabaang 2.
