Mammootty has miraculous escape on shoot

Malayalam superstar Mammootty Tuesday had a miraculous escape during shooting of an action scene of his latest blockbuster "Big B" when a flying metal piece from an exploding car missed him by inches.

Mammootty told IANS that he was shooting for a scene where a car was blown up by a petrol bomb.

"A portion of the exploding car flew inches away from my face. God is great. After the incident we saw it replayed on the video and only then we knew the gravity of the situation. It was a narrow escape," said Mammootty.

The shooting commenced after a break.

This is the second time in the last few months that Mammootty has had a close shave.

In November last year, while driving towards Idukki for the shooting of "Palunku" his luxury car collided with a bus and was smashed, but he had a fortunate escape.
