Rajinikanth’s 170th film 'Vettaiyan' to release on October 10 in four languages

Highlights

• Beverley Callard, 69, lost consciousness for around 10 minutes while filming Irish soap Fair City on Thursday
• An ambulance was called as standard on-set protocol; she declined to go to hospital and says she felt fine afterwards
• She is still awaiting results from stomach biopsies and is due back at hospital next week
• The scare comes months after she finished radiotherapy for breast cancer, first diagnosed earlier this year — in a phone call she received minutes before filming a Fair City scene

Beverley Callard has had two frightening moments on the set of Fair City this year, and both arrived the same way: without warning, in the middle of an ordinary day at work.

What happened on set

Callard described the day in a video posted to Instagram on Thursday evening. "I've been at work this week, filming the most amazing scenes, really good, great scripts," she said. "It was all going swimmingly and then today, I've no idea what happened to me. I was all ready to start a new scene, we just sat there getting ready, about to run lines, and I sort of… the only way to explain it is I lost consciousness for a few minutes, maybe 10 minutes, which was very odd."
