Overview
- On Friday, October 23 Bachchan posted on his Tumblr that "Yet more rest needed" after earlier saying medical advice required him to take a few days off and not write to followers.
- He told fans he was under "very strict rest and recuperation" and apologised for being unable to communicate during the prescribed break.
- Reports note he slipped and injured his knee during a Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 shoot earlier this month, but Bachchan has not confirmed any link between that incident and the current rest advice.
- Mumbai authorities investigated a threat email that mentioned his name and found nothing suspicious, according to local police statements.
- Bachchan, 84, continues to be linked to KBC 18 and upcoming films including the Kalki 2898 AD sequel and Section 84, and further updates on his health will determine whether his immediate work schedule changes.
