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.
“So uncontrollable was the mobbed situation at the airport, that I had to be whisked away,” Bachchan wrote on his blog at the time. “For the first time in the history of any airline traveller, my immigration and customs and passport were conducted in my hotel room.” Bachchan made his debut in India’s Hindi film industry, known as Bollywood, in 1969 with the movie “Saath Hindustani,” which translates to Seven Indians.
