time the camera is switched off. The two-
time National Award winner is shooting in
Mumbai's Chandivali Studio for Luv Ranjan's
romantic saga directed by Akiv Ali. His co-
stars Tabu and Rakul Preet Singh are
unaware of his discomfiture because the
actor is being a thorough professional and
doing his scenes effortlessly. However, the
moment the director shouts cut', Ajay
literally collapses into a chair because he is
in acute pain.
A source on the set says, "Ajay has a tennis
elbow or Lateral Epicondylitis as it is called.
And he is in so much pain, he can't even lift
his hand to pick up a cup of coffee. The
actor has been experiencing pain in his heel,
too. However, he has to finish the schedule
because the producers (Ankur Garg and Luv
Ranjan) have a set standing and they also
have a combination of dates of Jimmy
Sheirgill, Rakul and Tabu that they cannot
afford to waste.
One hears that while shooting for Total
Dhamaal in Filmcity a few days ago, Ajay was
wincing in pain. On noticing this, his co-
actor Anil Kapoor, who apparently had
suffered a similar injury, recommended that
Ajay should fly to Germany for treatment.
Ace cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, too, had
tennis elbow and underwent treatment for
it.
TENNIS ELBOW (LATERAL EPICONDYLITIS)
Tennis elbow is a condition in which the
forearm muscles and tendons are affected.
This leads to pain and tenderness on the
outside of the elbow. It usually develops
over a period of time. Repetitive motions
like gripping a racket during a swing can
strain the muscles and put too much stress
on the tendons. That constant tugging can
eventually cause microscopic tears in the
tissue.
