The Slumdog Millionaire made an look on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, the place he recalled that the incident together with his hand occurred within the first motion scene they filmed.
“Everything could have gone wrong went wrong. The first action scene I’m basically, I’m a crash test dummy that my co-star is using my face to break every piece of porcelain in this bathroom, and my hand, I heard it snap. I was like ‘This is not good,’” he stated on the NBC late-night present.
He continued, “And I knew, you know, you’ve got 450 people on an island, and if I go down, the film goes down. You know, we had a purpose during a really prickly time in history. And I told my producer I was like ‘Don’t say anything. Let’s just keep filming.’ By the end of the day my hand was like an elephant’s foot. And we couldn’t afford to put a cast on and VFX it out of this movie.”
Patel recounted that as a result of the manufacturing of the movie occurred in the course of the Covid outbreak, they received a “cheap medical private jet, and we flew to Jakarta that night.” The actor stated, “The doctor put a screw in my hand,” and suggested him to not put greater than a pound of strain.
“Actually, I went straight back to set the next day, and was throwing myself and bouncing off a window,” Patel added. “And the crew, they made a T-shirt.”
Patel pulled out the t-shirt that had the X-ray of his hand on his sleeve with manufacturing joking, “The one screw that kept this production alive.”
