MUMBAI: Ajay Kumar, popularly known as Guinness Pakru, holds the Guinness World Records for being the shortest actor to play a character in a full-length film. He played the lead role in Athbhutha Dweepu, a Malayalam movie directed by Vinayan. The movie was later dubbed in Tamil and Telugu versions.

The actor and others involved in the mishap were unhurt. The mishap happened near Thiruvalla. According to the actor, a truck coming from the opposite direction lost control and hit their car. As per reports, the mishap happened at Muzhuvangaduchira near the bypass in Thiruvalla. The truck hit the rear side of the actor’s car, but luckily none, including Guinness Pakru, and his driver were hurt.
