Amitabh Bachchan Fractures Rib In Between THUGS OF HINDOSTAN Shot
| |||
In an unfortunate turn of events, megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is shooting for ‘Thugs Of Hindostan’ with Aamir Khan, fractured his ribs, but being the actor he is, Big B continued shooting for the movie. As a source revealed to the daily, “Filming for the action scenes had resulted in an injury for Amitji. He had cracked his upper-left rib, but he continued to shoot despite excruciating pain, as the film’s shoot was being done on a tight schedule.” Director Vijay Krishna Acharya did not want Big B to shoot in so much pain. “But Amitji chose to complete the shoot despite the makers agreeing to reschedule it,” says the insider. Vijay Krishna Acharya also confirmed this piece of news, when he said, “I have grown up idolising him and am an absolute fan of his ’70s films, like Deewar (1975). I was worried that Mr. Bachchan had to deal with such pain. But he insisted on completing his portions and actually did a brilliant job. The kind of professional focus, commitment and sheer love for cinema he has is quite unmatched.” Amitabh underwent an MRI scan once he returned to Mumbai and the doctors found the source of his terrible pain to be a fractured rib. As Acharya mentioned, “Despite a cracked rib, he continued to focus on the film’s shoot and push himself. I am overwhelmed, as is the unit, which also gave their 100% to make that day as easy as possible for Mr. Bachchan.” The movie, also starring Katrina Kaif and ‘Dangal’ actress Fatima Sana Shaikh, is scheduled to release on Diwali next year.
