We all know the saying "Break a leg!" when really wishing someone good luck before a big performance. Well, Egyptian actor Hassan El Raddad may not be a fan of the phrase anymore after he nearly did just that on set his new film "Al Sitah Tabtah".

According to Laha magazine, Hassan was injured during a scene with a jump from a high elevation. He's so bad ass, he does his own stunts. Unfortunately, it didn't go over the way he had planned. He ended up landing on his feet the wrong way and had to get medical help.

Unable to continue filming further until Hassan recovers, the movie's director, Khaled Al Halfawi, called cut and won't roll cameras again until the daredevil star has recovered.

Co-stars Mai Selim and Amy Samir Ghanem are left twiddling their fingers after their first acting project with Hassan was put on hiatus.

The film's makers are still debating on whether the title should remain "Al Sitah Tabtah" or, alternatively, "Bita' Sitat" (Women's Man) since the womanizer main character has some lady problems. Looks like they've got some time to decide now!
