Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan dismissed speculation about his ill-health after he was spotted wearing a neck brace while shooting for his upcoming film Piku in Kolkata yesterday.
The 72-year-old megastar wrote on Twitter
T 1664 - So .. media conjectures that I am ill is incorrect ! That neck brace that they see me wearing is part of my costume in 'PIKU" .. !
- Amitabh Bachchan (@SrBachchan) November 3, 2014The actor, infact, posted photographs from the sets of the film on his blog where he could be seen having a great time with his Piku co-stars Deepika Padukone and Irrfan Khan and director Shoojit Sircar.
It was reported yesterday that the shoot of the film at South Kolkata's Burdwan House was stalled after the iconic star fell ill.
Big B, who is seen sporting a Bohemian look in a loose fitting light beige kurta, a light grey half-sweater and a long haired wig, was apparently sighted in a pensive mood, tinkering with his smartphone on the lawn at Burdwan House with "hints of a smile in between".
Fans reportedly circled the building for most part of the day to get a glimpse of the actor, who arrived in the city on November 2 and was spotted riding a bicycle through its nerve-centre, BBD Bagh, as a part of the film's shoot.
