Bollywood baddie Shakti Kapoor bit through three layers of Anil Kapoor's clothing (shirt, sweater and coat) and drew out blood while shooting at Filmistan Studios for Anees Bazmee's No Problem.
The incident happened on Friday afternoon. Medical aid was rushed to Kapoor and as a precaution he was also administered a tetanus shot, says a media report.
The scene required a wheelchair-bound Shakti to sink his teeth into Anil's sleeve and then pull him.
But as the camera rolled, Shakti got carried away and dug his teeth deep into Anil's left arm.
Unit members were shocked to see blood oozing from the wound and Anil writhing in pain.
Anil was wearing a shirt, a sweater and then an overcoat. It was difficult to imagine how hard Shakti must have bit that he got through three layers of clothing, said a unit hand.
Confirming the incident, producer Rajat Rawail says, "Yes, Shakti did bite Anil and for a while there was panic on the sets."
He adds, "Anil plays Shakti's son-in-law in the film. The scene involved an injured Shakti, who is unable to lift his arms or speak, trying to draw Anil's attention by tugging at his sleeve with his mouth.
Director Anees Bazmee wanted him to hold on to his bite, but in the process Shakti clasped his teeth hard and bit Anil."
In the film, Shakti plays a handicapped person who cannot use his hands.
The film features Sushmita Sen and Kangana Ranaut.
Anil writhed in pain as shocked unit hands rushed to his aid
Everyone was concerned as Anil was in pain. His wound was treated with an antiseptic and then a doctor was called in to administer a tetanus shot.
But later everyone on the sets burst out laughing including Anil.
Shakti, however, was not exactly amused. Anil exclaimed on the sets, "After all these years of acting, I now know what 'real' acting is!" Shakti did not comment and continued with the shoot.
Shakti did not even realise what he had done. In the movie, his condition is because of Anil's doing so may be he just wanted to give him back, said a crew member.
The cast of No Problem includes Sanjay Dutt, Sushmita Sen, Kangana Ranaut, Akshaye Khanna and Paresh Rawal.
Produced by Anil Kapoor, Rajat Rawail and Spice International, No Problem is slated to release in the third quarter of 2010.
