Anupam Kher suffers hairline fracture on sets of 'Vijay 69'

Mumbai: Veteran actor Anupam Kher on Monday said he has sustained a hairline fracture while shooting for his upcoming slice-of-life film "Vijay 69".

The upcoming OTT film from YRF Entertainment will be directed by Akshay Roy. It will narrate the life of a sexagenarian man (Kher) who decides to compete in a triathlon contest at the age of 69.

"You do a sports film and you don't get injured! How can this be possible? During the shooting of #Vijay69 yesterday, there was a serious injury in the shoulder.

आप स्पोर्ट्स फ़िल्म करो और आप घायल ना हो!! ऐसा कैसे हो सकता है? कल #Vijay69 की शूटिंग के दौरान कंधे में अच्छी ख़ासी चोट लगी।दर्द तो है पर जब कंधे पर sling लगाने वाले भैया ने बताया की उन्होंने ही @iamsrk और @iHrithik के कंधों को इस स्लिंग से सजाया था तो पता नहीं क्यों दर्द का… pic.twitter.com/zwaxDrIJhh

"It is painful, but when the brother who put the sling on the shoulder told that he had decorated the shoulders of @iamsrk and @iHrithik with this sling, then do not know why the feeling of pain has subsided a bit! But by the way, if I cough a little hard, then a little scream definitely comes out of my mouth," Kher wrote alongside a photograph clicked after he underwent the treatment.

The actor added that the shooting will resume after a couple of days.

"Vijay 69" will be produced by filmmaker Maneesh Sharma, known for directing YRF titles such as “Band Baaja Baaraat”, “Shuddh Desi Romance” and “Fan”.
