The incredibly gifted Fahadh Faasil had an accident at the beginning of March which he is still recovering from. Yes, it was that serious. We’ve been hearing and reading a lot of speculative unsubstantiated reports on how the mishap happened and how serious it was. I finally got the truth from the horse’s mouth. Says Fahadh, “Yes, I had an accident a few weeks back. I am still recovering. The stitches should go off this week.” When I urged him to share more details the legendary Malayali actor replied, “I had a fall during the shooting of  Malayankunju . It was a landslide sequence. Mechanically done. We lost control over the speed. I only realized how serious it was when my doctors broke down. I should be back to normal in about a week. It could have been avoided. But I guess I needed this going off track and getting back.” Fahadh says derailing is Nature’s way of rejuvenating him. “It often happens to me. I am never in one space for too long. It is more often psychological than p
