Actor Amitabh Bachchan is well on his way to recovery after sustaining a rib injury at the shoot for his upcoming action flick Project K. The actor penned a note to thank his fans for wishing him well and praying for his health.

On Monday morning, Bachchan took to Instagram to share a health update with his fans, saying that he hopes to be “back on the ramp soon.” Sharing a throwback image of himself walking on a fashion show ramp in a black and white ensemble, the veteran actor wrote, “Thank you for all the prayers and wishes for my recovery. I repair… I hope to be back on the ramp soon.”  

Actor Rahul Dev replied to the post, saying, "So, so good to hear this news, dear sir. love." Many fans also flocked to the comment section calling him an "inspiration" for his "active lifestyle" at his age.

In a blog post earlier this month, the 80-year-old star revealed that he had sustained an injury while filming an action scene for Project K, which caused his rib cartilage to "pop". He received medical treatment in Hyderabad and has been recuperating at his Mumbai residence, Jalsa. In the blog, Bachchan acknowledged that the injury was painful and that it would take several weeks before he could return to his normal activities.

Helmed by Nag Ashwin, Project K is scheduled to hit theatres on January 12, 2024, although work on the project has been postponed until the veteran actor heals from his injury. The film also stars Deepika Padukone, Disha Patani and Prabhas in the lead roles.
