“Hirani will be operated on and has no life-threatening injuries,” said Dr Jalil Parkar of Lilavati Hospital. The operation is scheduled for later in the day.
Hirani had been riding the Royal Enfield Bullet bike, which belonged to one of his staff members. Apparently, he could not manage the weight even though he had been riding at low speed. Due to the accident, he fractured his jaw and has a cut on his face.
The 3 Idiots and Munna Bhai films director had currently been busy editing his film Saala Kadoos, starring R Madhavan. He is also planning a biopic on Sanjay Dutt which may star Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role.

Last month, veteran Bollywood actress and Indian lawmaker Hema Malini was involved in an accident which killed a 4-year-old girl and left the actress mildly injured.
The actress was rushed to a local hospital sustaining minor injuries after her Mercedes reportedly rammed into an alto in Rajasthan.
The actress underwent medical scans upon reaching the hospital and television footage showed her bleeding on the forehead area above the right eye.
“Hema has injuries above her eyes, on her back and legs. I drove her to the hospital in my car. She was in pain,” local state lawmaker Shankar Lal Sharma told reporters.

“One girl child has died in the accident,” he added.
The girl was identified as Sonam, aged 4.
According to the Hindustan Times, family members of a toddler who died in the accident accused the administration of lavishing all their attention on the VIP while ignoring others who were injured.
