Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan's relationship with injuries is old. Four decades ago, he fell into a coma on the set of his film, Coolie, when Mahabharat-famed actor Punit Issar punched him in the stomach. On Monday, Bachchan was again on the receiving end as he got injured during the shoot of an action sequence for his upcoming film, Project K, in Hyderabad. The actor was rushed to AIG Hospital in Hyderabad, where he underwent a CT scan. It was revealed that the veteran actor has suffered a muscle tear in his right rib cage and is currently taking rest at his home in Mumbai.

After he got injured, Bachchan penned a note for his fans on his blog. The actor informed his fans that he is back at his home in Mumbai and is resting. "I rest at Jalsa and am mobile a bit for all the essential activities .. but yes in rest and generally lying around... It shall be difficult or let me say. I shall be unable to meet, the well-wishers at Jalsa Gate this evening. so do not come .. and do inform as much as you can to those that intend to come... All else is well," he wrote.
