John Abraham, who plays the role of a gangster in the Balaji Motion Pictures film-Shootout at Wadala, almost got himself killed while filming a gunfire scene.The gun-effects- team hired for the scene miscalculated the distance from where the bullet (blank bullet) had to be fired by the cop-played by Anil Kapoor.John was shot from a very close range,which caused higher impact of the shot. But, luckily John did not get hit in the middle of his neck,the bullet simply grazed the left side of his neck.Everybody panicked when John fell to his right side. Immediate action was taken towards the team and a doctor visited John on the sets. So, its a lesson learned. Always check and double check the distance while shooting a gun-fire scene.
