Three instances when Amitabh Bachchan suffered injury while shooting

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan on Saturday while shooting for Project K in Hyderabad suffered a rib injury. Project K is a science-fiction film, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, and Deepika Padukone. It is scheduled to hit theatres next year. Big B informed his fans that he had gotten injured during an action shoot and his rib cartilage popped and broke. He had suffered a muscle tear to the right rib cage. The megastar was quickly rushed to the AIG Hospital in Hyderabad after the incident and had a CT scan.

His shoot was canceled and all the work that was to be done has been postponed for the moment for his recovery.

Bachchan has flown back to Jalsa, Mumbai on the same day. “I rest at Jalsa and am mobile a bit for all the essential activities .. but yes in rest and generally lying around ..” he posted.



He told his fans that he will be unable to meet them. “So the well wishers at Jalsa Gate this evening .. so do not come .. and do inform as much as you can to those that intend coming,” he said.

Here are two other incidents when Amitabh Bachchan suffered an injury while shooting:

• Last year, in October, the Bollywood superstar revealed on his blog that he suffered a calf injury on the sets of the show Kaun Banega Crorepati 14. The megastar was quickly rushed to the hospital after he cut the vein in his left leg, which started bleeding.

• In 1982, Amitabh Bachchan was injured while shooting a fight sequence with Puneet Issar for the film Coolie. During the fight scene shoot, Puneet mistakenly punched hard in Big B’s stomach, which led to serious internal injuries to him. Bachchan was rushed to St. Philomena’s Hospital (Bangalore/Bengaluru) and emergency surgery was performed. Later, he was then flown to Mumbai and admitted to Breach Candy Hospital where he went into a “haze and coma-like situation” and was “clinically dead for a couple of minutes” as told by the man himself.
