Actor Amitabh Bachchan had a muscle tear in his right thigh while shooting for Project K in Hyderabad. The 80-year-old star revealed in a blog post that his ribs "cracked" on set while filming, injuring him. He underwent treatment in Hyderabad and is currently recuperating at Jalsa, his home in Mumbai. It's a "small mobile for important events" but it's relaxing, Amitabh Bachchan revealed.

"Yes, painful," he wrote in his blog on Tumbler, "On movement and breathing, will take some weeks they say before some normalisation will occur." He ended the post, shared on Sunday, with a plea to fans not to gather at Jalsa as usual - a Sunday meet and greet with fans outside his home has been Big B's Sunday ritual for decades.

In his post, Amitabh Bachchan 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. 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 on also for pain."

"So all work that was to be done has been suspended and canceled dropped postponed for the moment until healing occurs," Amitabh Bachchan continued, "I rest at Jalsa and am mobile a bit for all the essential activities, but yes in rest and generally lying around."
