MUMBAI: Superstar Aamir Khan, who suffered a muscle spasm in one of his shoulders while shooting an action scene for Dangal, has been advised by doctors complete bed rest for at least eight days.

Khan suffered the injury on November 14 night while shooting a wrestling scene. He is now returning to Mumbai to take a break

from filming the movie directed by Nitesh Tiwari.

“Following the injury, Aamir took 24 hours of rest in Ludhiana as he could hardly move. Now, he has been asked to take complete rest for eight days after which doctors will decide the next course of action,” Khan’s spokesperson told IANS.

The unit of the film, which also stars Sakshi Tanwar, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Rajkumar Rao, is on a break until Khan is able to resume work.

Since it was Diwali time, his wife and film-maker Kiran Rao and son Azad were with him in Ludhiana, when the injury struck.
