About one billion rupees is riding on the shoulders of Bollywood mega star Amitabh Bachchan, who is currently recuperating in a hospital here after he complained of abdominal pain on his 66th birthday on Saturday.
Although the officials from Lilalvati Hospital have said that Bachchan is recouperating well, producers within the film industry have a lot to worry about. The doctors have said that test results are normal and that he will be released soon but the star won't be able to resume work for a long time.
He has already started shooting for Leena Yadav's Teen Patti, Sujoy Ghosh's Alladin and Soojit Sarkar's Shoebite. Bachchan had, in fact, participated in the 10-day shooting schedule of Teen Patti in Mumbai and was expected to wrap up the shooting of the film on his birthday. Amitabh's illness will delay the movie and as a result, its budget is expected to exceed Rs.250 million.
Bachchan had, of course, already finished shooting for Aladdin but the film is said to have cost 450 million rupees to be made and with Bachchan out of action for a while to promote it, there is a chance that this big budgeted film will have to delay its release.
Apart from these, there are few more movies which have already been announced with Bachchan in the cast. They include Time Machine, Pocket Maar, Aankhen 2, Bhairavi, Struggler, Talisman and his home production The Legend of Kunal.
Bachchan, who was in the midst of his 66th birthday celebrations at his bungalow Pratiksha in Juhu, was rushed to the Nanavati Hospital early Saturday afternoon after complaining of abdominal pain and breathlessness. He was then shifted to the Lilavati Hospital where he continued to be under observation. Bachchan was being treated in suite number 1101 on the 11th floor of the hospital.
It will take at least two months before Bachchan becomes fit enough to be able to shoot for his movies as the doctors have already advised him sufficient rest in spite of the speedy recovery he has shown at the hospital.
