Big B falls ill mid-shoot

A team of doctors from Lilavati Hospital were rushed from Mumbai to Jodhpur to check the medical condition of veteran Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan who fell ill while shooting for his upcoming film ‘Thugs of Hindostan’.

In an early morning blog post on Tuesday, Amitabh, 75, revealed that doctors would be coming in to "fiddle around" with his body and set him up again.

According to sources, Amitabh Bachchan's health has shown improvement and doctors have advised complete bed-rest for him. “Doctors will be giving a final call on whether Amitabh Bachchan will be brought to Mumbai or he will stay. Till then the doctors will be staying in Jodhpur,” said the source.

In his blog post, the actor wrote about the gruelling shoot schedule of the Vijay Krishna Acharya-directed film, which also features Aamir Khan. "The morning after the night that began yesterday for work some people need to work for a living and work hard. It's been rough… there is struggle and disappointment and pain and sweat and tears… then the expectation of all working out… sometimes it does, most of the times not… it is the right impetus to say and deliver that it has been successful and achieved," he said.
