Baburaj has narrated the experience of coming face to face with death during the shoot of the film Nya Nilavulla Naat. He opened his mind in an interview given to Mirchi Malayalam. He was thought to have died when he was bitten by a leech on the film location. The incident took place on the location of the movie Nalla Nilavulla Ratti. Leeches have been a problem for me for a long time. While shooting a stunt on the location of the movie Red Indians, he fell into the stream. As the water was good, we climbed out of the stream after some time.
After the shoot, he came to the room with blood all over his leg. Sometimes pus would come from the place where the leech had bitten. When I was told that the shoot was in Kuttikanam, I had asked if there were leeches. Even though I took a lot of precautions, the leech bit me right away.

After two days, he could not put his foot on the ground. When I sent the photo to my doctor, he said to put a drip. He was also told that he should be admitted. The medical team was asked to come to the location so as not to leave the shoot. I drank some alcohol after the night medicine. I thought I would change something from this. My face is so swollen I can’t talk. When pain and shortness of breath came, I thought it was the end of me. I thought that this would be a terrible death.
He took the phone to call Vani. Now she did not speak for fear of saying something negative. The next day I went for a shoot. When I was told that I would not shoot for two days, I thought that I would spend that time. Everyone was in a pub over there when I looked. Thought I’d have a glass of beer and see. Take a sip and choke. Then back to the hospital. The doctor asked what was wrong with you. When I asked if I can’t eat anymore, some people said 100 or 120 days. Remember the situation when the news comes that he died after being bitten by a leech. If you tell all this to Vani, if you listen to her, the attack will come. Baburaj says that’s why he hung up.
