 A source from the set informed Mid-day about the fatal incident and said, "Kangana was immediately rushed to Apollo hospital nearby, where she was admitted into the ICCU. She got 15 stitches on her forehead and will be under observation in the hospital for a few days. The examining doctor said that it was a close shave for her because the cut was too close to her bone."

Producer Kamal Jain said that Kangana refused to use a body double and even though the scene had been rehearsed many times before, the timing went wrong this time.

"Kangana had to duck when Nihar (Pandya) attacked her, but the timing went wrong and Nihar's sword hit her forehead instead. It made a deep cut between her eyebrows. The drive to the hospital took a good 30 minutes, but she put up a brave front despite the pain and bleeding. Nihar was apologetic and felt terrible, but Kangana pacified him," he said.

According to the examining doctor, Kangana will be left with a scar.

Film ‘Manikarnika - The Queen Of Jhansi’ is reported to release in April 2018.
