Amid ‘Project K’ shoot

Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan has always been careful after his serious injury while on shoot for the Manmohan Desai directorial “Collie” when he was struck by a stinking blow by actor Puneet.

Now news is doing the rounds that the legend suffered a muscle tear to his right rib cage while shooting for “Project K” in Hyderabad.

The 80-year-old star in a blog post reveals that his rib cartilage “popped” while he filmed an action shot, injuring him. He received medical care in Hyderabad and is now recovering at Jalsa, his home in Mumbai. He is “mobile a bit for essential activities” but otherwise resting, Amitabh Bachchan revealed. “Yes, painful,” he wrote in his blog on Tumbler, “On movement and breathing, will take some weeks they say before some normalisation will occur.” He ended the post, shared on Sunday, with a plea to fans not to gather at Jalsa as usual. Sunday meet and greet with fans outside his home has been Big B’s Sunday ritual for decades.

The shoot had to be cancelled. A Doctor was called and a scan by CT was done at the AIG Hospital in Hyderabad and he was flown back to his Mumbai home. Strapping has been done and rest has been advocated. He is in pain and there is an impact on his movement and breathing which will take some weeks for normalisation. He is right now on medication for pain.

All work remains suspended canceled dropped postponed for the moment till he gets healed.

Amitabh Bachchan continued in his blog that he is on complete rest and his mobile is active only for all the essential activities.

He has asked all his fans not to gather outside Jalsa on Sunday which is the day for meet and greet.

Project K co-stars Prabhas, Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani, and slated for theatrical release in 2024.
