Varun Dhawan's stunt in Coolie No 1 goes wrong; actor escapes unhurt

Actor Varun Dhawan escaped unhurt when a stunt went wrong while shooting for his upcoming film Coolie No 1.

While shooting for a scene on Sunday, Varun got stuck inside a car hanging off a cliff when the doors of the car got jammed. Varun kept his calm and escaped unhurt.

The unit was filming the scene in the outskirts of Pune, which required the actor to deliver some close-up shots inside a car as it hung off the cliff. According to an onlooker present during the shoot, when Varun was filming his shot, he realised that the car door had got jammed and would not open.

In Coolie No 1, Varun is stepping into the shoes of veteran Govinda, who featured in the 1995 film. Varun's father David Dhawan, who directed the original, is on board to helm the remake as well. Sara Ali Khan is filling in for Karisma Kapoor from the original.

The film is slated for release on May 1, next year.
