The shooting was stopped and almost immediately the doctors came on the scene to attend to the actor. But, being dedicated as Sachiin is to his work he resumed shoot a few hours later than making the unit wait and letting the day go waste.
“I jumped off a few seconds before I was supposed to so I don’t blame anyone for this accident but myself. The shoulder still hurts but it’s ok I am sure it will recover completely in a few days," said Sachiin Joshi.
While the director of the movie Prashant Chadha also was on the sets completely taken aback, he added , “We all saw him jump off the trailer and hit the road hard but it all happened so fast that we couldn’t do much. Though Sachiin didn’t call it a day, after some pain killers he was back on the sets.”

AAZAAN : India’s biggest film on espionage
Aazaan will be India’s first espionage film shot in such a large scale, spanning seven countries, talking of the global threat of terrorism…
For an industry that makes over 700 films, the Indian film industry has not dabbled with many films on espionage… JMJ Entertainment’s AAZAAN is perhaps the first film that talks of a RAW agent who has been groomed to infiltrate the notorious gang of terrorists in Waziristan, which is the breeding ground of terror and terrorists in the world.
Sachiin Joshi will make his debut in this action packed film. A movie lover since a kid, Sachiin met Prashant Chadha, when the director was contacted to make a film for the JMJ Entertainment banner. The director reveals, “Spy or political thrillers have always been my favourite genre. Films like the Bourne trilogy, Mission Impossible and similar are on the top of my list. When I was signed up by JMJ Entertainment, my preference for the launch of Sachiin was a spy thriller. Also I believed that Sachiin would be able to convincingly pull off this genre.”
Writing this story of terrorism and its global consequences took the team of three writers, Prashant Chadha, Shubhra Swarup and Heeraz Marfatia over a year. And talking of his lead actor, Prashant discloses, “Sachin appealed a lot to me as a character who can pull off the action drama genre with ease. He has a distressed and anguished look, with a lot on his shoulders. His eyes are expressive and can communicate a lot.”
Aazaan is a film that has been shot across the globe as it talks of a new terror that can be perceived as the latest threat on mankind. And Sachiin who was groomed for this film, worked hard on every aspect of film making to give the perfect shot. Reflects the actor, “For Aazaan, I have learnt action that is usually given to Israeli soldiers for close combat, called Krav Maga I have also learnt the ancient form of martial arts favoured in Kerala called Kalaripayattu to make sure that the action looks genuine.”
JMJ Entertainment put forward its best foot at all levels. Meticulously pre production work was detailed out as the shooting schedule was expansive. Sachin says, “The script demanded that it be shot over 7 countries. We scouted several countries and zeroed down on Germany, Poland, Morocco, France, Hong Kong/Macau, South Africa and India. We hired line producers/ crew from respective countries and our crew from India was skeletal, thereby being cost efficient.”
