Amitabh Bachchan to take time to return to the sets of Project K, still recovering from rib cage injury

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan hurt himself while filming his forthcoming movie "Project K" in March. While filming an action scene in Hyderabad, he broke his right rib cage's muscle and tore the cartilage in one of his ribs. The actor took time off from work and meet and greets to recover at home due to the injury. On his blog, Big B recently said, “off to work .. a few limps and slings apart .. but striding on” after recently going outside to shoot for a commercial.

Although he has begun work, the actor is recovering slowly, so it will be some time before he can visit the Project K sets again. A family friend revealed to ETimes, “Bachchan saab wants to get back to normal shooting soon. But the healing process is slow. One cannot take risks at his age.”

Big B is quite active on social media and when the accident occurred, he took to his blog to update his fans. He wrote, “In Hyderabad at the shoot for Project K, during an action shot, I have got injured, rib cartilage popped broke and muscle tear to the right rib cage, canceled shoot, did Doctor consult and scan by CT at the AIG Hospital in Hyderabad and flown back home." 

He added, "Strapping has been done and rest been advocated, yes painful, on movement and breathing, will take some weeks they say before some normalisation will occur. Some medication is also on for pain. So all work that was to be done has been suspended and canceled dropped postponed for the moment until healing occurs.”

The last time we saw Amitabh Bachchan was in Uunchai alongside Anupam Kher, Parineeti Chopra, and Boman Irani. Next he has Project K starring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani, as well as the remake of the Hollywood comedy hit The Intern with Deepika.
