What his publicist said

In one of the videos, Ajith drives a car with Arav strapped in the passenger seat. After a few moments, the car topples over and the crew is seen rushing towards them. Clearing the air about this incident, Ajith’s publicist said: “The team was shooting an action sequence on a highway in Azerbaijan. The speculation is that one of the tyres of the vehicle that Ajith sir was driving might have gotten deflated, leading to this accident.”

He continued, “Arav and Ajith sir went for a check-up and resumed shoot within three hours. Neither of the two actors suffered any injury.” The video was taken in November last year.
