Visual Composer Grid with do_action shortcode is not working

I have visual composer which is packed with total theme. When I put the following grid short code in my page in the editor it works correctly.

[vc_basic_grid post_type="post_type" max_items="10" item="masonryGrid_SlideFromLeft" grid_id="vc_gid:1458178666639-80ebf3775500c87d35de078c3422fe96-10" taxonomies="555"]

However, when I call the exact same code using do_action it gives the following javascript error. I checked the html output and it is the same using do_action like putting the short code in editor.

Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: {'status':'Nothing found'} s

Any help is greatly appreciated.
