Aftab
Shivdasani's
plans
to
star
in
a
cricket
film
has
been
postponed.
It
was
meant
to
be
a
very
hush-hush
sports
film
revolving
around
the
game
of
cricket.
Ironically
it
was
a
game
of
cricket
that
has
caused
a
delay
in
Aftab's
very
secret
plans
to
play
cricket
for
his
own
film.
Not
only
is
his
ambitious
sports
film
delayed,
Aftab
Shivdasani,
who
left
on
Thursday
morning
for
the
IIFA
in
Colombo,
would
have
to
skip
the
benefit
cricket
match
because
of
the
hand
injury
he
suffered
while
playing
cricket
for
Salman
Khan's
Being
Human
team
in
Dubai
last
week.
Wincing
in
pain
Aftab
explains,
"Thankfully
it
isn't
a
fracture.
Just
a
small
crack
in
the
bone
and
soft-tissue
damage.
But
that's
painful
enough.
I've
to
rest
my
hand
for
at
least
ten
days.
But
I'm
off
to
IIFA,
though
I
can't
play
the
cricket
match."
Replaying
the
incident
leading
to
the
injury,
Aftab
says,
"I
was
batting
in
Dubai
against
Pakistani
actors
when
I
got
a
beamer.
I
tried
to
fend
it
off
with
my
hand.
The
ball
hit
the
bone
on
the
side
of
the
palm
of
my
right
hand."
The
pain
was
so
acute
that
Aftab
had
to
be
rushed
to
the
hospital.
"It
was
painful.
I
went
directly
from
the
stadium
to
the
hospital
for
an
x-ray.
There
it
was
discovered
I
have
a
small
crack
in
the
finger.
I've
to
wear
a
splint
for
two
weeks."
