Amitabh Bachchan, one of India’s most famous actors, has said he was injured on set, resulting in “painful” movement and breathing.
Bachchan, 80, said he tore a muscle and cartilage in his ribs during the filming of an action scene for his upcoming movie “Project K” in the southern city of Hyderabad.
Writing on his official blog on Sunday, the veteran actor said he is resting at home in Mumbai and it will take some weeks until he is recovered.
“It shall be difficult or let me say… I shall be unable to meet, the well wishers at Jalsa Gate this evening,” Bachchan wrote, referring to his weekly ritual of meeting fans outside his home in the city’s Juhu suburb. “So do not come… and do inform as much as you can to those that intend [on] coming.”
With about 200 movies under his belt during a career spanning more than five decades, Bachchan is idolized by millions across the globe.
