For a filmmaker each of his ventures is like his baby. So when it comes to shooting a movie he wouldn't compromise on anything, even if it means playing on his own life. Take this noted person of our B-town for instance....

On a typical film set where most directors are found sitting by the camera in their director's chair calling out action, Prakash Jha is always found in midst of the action.

Prakash Jha who is known to be one director who takes on challenging subjects with his films, seems to have taken a few during the shooting of his forthcoming multi-starrer film 'Aarakshan'. One would always find Jha with the film camera on an edge of a bridge without support, or on a crane 50 odd ft above the ground, amidst of a chaotic crowd or under a running bulldozer to get a shot just right.

Amitabh Bachchan who is working with Jha for the first time, rightly dubbed him as a "Khatron Ka Khiladi."

Being the daredevil director, Prakash Jha escapes a few almost accidents during the shoot. It happened twice during shooting, while taking a shot under the bulldozer, the driver didn't hear the command to "Stop" from the action director, almost running over Jha!

Second time, he wasn't as lucky as he takes off on a scooter by himself during a location shift, and gets into an accident. Un-phased by the injury the "Khatron Ka Khiladi" – Prakash Jha remarked to his crew jokingly, "You've made me fall, but don’t think I have fallen from grace."

Our advice to you, Sirji – Play it safe....
