Akshaye Khanna injures back on set of 'Gali Gali Mein Shor'

Actor Akshaye Khanna has injured his back while filming Gali Gali Mein Shor Hai.

Shooting on the film - a political satire by Rumi Jaffrey - was immediately called to a halt in Bhopal.

According to The Hindustan Times, Khanna dismissed the injury as a pulled muscle, saying: "I was shooting when it happened. I have to take rest for ten days.

"Very sad. But what to do? Doctors' orders. It's a spasmodic pain. But I might as well rest it out."

Speaking about the incident, Jaffrey said: "Yes, Akshaye hurt his back. And we had to postpone the shooting in Bhopal for three weeks.

"It wasn't an action sequence. Just a normal shot. Akshaye kept shooting. But as the days progressed his pain got worse, probably because he had to do a lot of outdoor shooting on a scooter. Finally it got so bad that we had to stop the shooting and return to Mumbai.

"We are back in Mumbai. But we resume shooting from October 10. By then Akshaye's back would hopefully be repaired."

The publicity-shy actor rarely speaks to the press and has said that he prefers to stay out of the spotlight.
