Amitabh Bachchan back to shooting despite injury


It seems an injury is hardly an impediment that would keep Big B away from his work commitments. Despite experiencing a hairline fracture while shooting for Ram Gopal Varma’s upcoming venture earlier this week, the actor was back in action on Friday when he shot a dance sequence for the flick.


Big B suffers injury on the sets of RGV’s ‘Department’

The Bollywood superstar left his fans rather worried when he took to the micro-blogging site on Wednesday to reveal that he had suffered a minor chest injury while shooting an action sequence for RGV’s ‘Department.’ Big B tweeted, “A minor incident on set during semi-action sequence ... got hit on chest rib cage, some damage inside, pain on breathing, bearable!”

However, the fans breathed a sigh of relief when the veteran actor confirmed on Friday that he had resumed shooting without much difficulty. “Since the chest rib pain persisted, doctors insisted for a scanning and I did a CT scan ...yes it's a hairline fracture in the rib. For fractures in the rib, nothing can be done as treatment. The pain will be there for another 3-4 weeks. It heals on its own ...damn!! But the brighter side is that I did shooting for 'Department' and it was a song and dance sequence and I did it quite smoothly without any incident,” Big B said on Twitter.

Should never have mentioned... just an accidental... hit by either an elbow or the butt of a carbine,” Big B went on to add.
