Amitabh Bachchan busy with KBC

Amitabh, who last starred in Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD, will soon star in the sequel with Prabhas and Kamal Haasan. However, the actor is currently busy shooting Season 18 of KBC as it airs. In a recent episode, he announced that he had slipped and injured his knee. The actor entered the show running towards his seat, but quickly sat down. He explained, “Usually, I do my monologue standing at the centre, but today, I have a knee injury. Yesterday, during the shoot, I slipped and fell and injured my knee.”

He also wrote in a recent blog post about being too busy to sleep, “They said the night sleep is the best repair mechanism of the human body .. and I struggle to find the time to follow that... But tonight is a try... now to retire early and be up for a early wake for work .. it is a different feel .. a state of many thoughts and ideas .. all filled with drive and a sense of conquering all that was once considered as a goal .. that gives immense power to run to its destination, in time .. and I must run to the bed.”
