Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan had a miraculous escape when he fell from a 50 feet high building while shooting for his home production, Krissh, in Singapore two days ago, family sources said on Saturday.

In a scene, Hrithik was to jump from a building with a safety cable tied to his leg but, as the actor tried the stunt, the cable broke and he came crashing down.

However, he landed safely on a net placed below as a precautionary measure, sources said.

"Hrithik has injured his back slightly but should be alright in a couple of days," the sources said. They added that he spoke with his mother, Pinky, and wife, Suzanne, soon after.

Hrithik has been shooting for Krissh in Singapore for a month.
