Aamir Khan seriously injured himself while shooting for his upcoming film Ghajini on Wednesday at Ramuji Rao Studios, Hyderabad. The incident took place around 11.30 am and the film's shooting has been indefinitely postponed.

Our source from the sets says, "Aamir Khan was shooting since 7 am in the morning. As he had to shoot intense action scenes, he wanted to finish the tougher sequences in the morning. Around 11 am Aamir was shooting for a scene where he had to pick up a very bulky man and throw him against the wall. Unfortunately, Aamir pulled his hamstring muscle while he was enacting the action scene. Aamir just sat down and was unable to get up as he was in severe pain. Immediately, a physiotherapist was called and he has been taking care of Aamir's injury since yesterday."

When contacted AR Murgadoss, director of Ghajini confirms and says, "Since the last couple of days, we have been shooting some of the most complex action sequences and Aamir got injured while shooting yesterday morning. We are really concerned about his well being. He is in a lot of pain and we have cancelled shooting as of now. We will only resume shooting after the doctor feels that Aamir is fit to get back to work."

As a part of his training for the film, Aamir Khan had been undergoing intense physical training for four hours every day for over a year before he began shooting for the film. Ghajini will release on October 1, 2008.
