Suniel
Shetty
has
been
recuperating
at
home
from
a
serious
injury
he
suffered
on
the
sets
of
De
Dhana
Dhan's
last
day
of
shooting
at
Film
City.
Says
a
source
from
the
production,
"He
was
shooting
for
a
difficult
action
sequence
in
the
water.
There
were
sharp
objects
around.
During
an
underwater
sequence,
something
spiky
pierced
Suneil
on
his
chest.
Though
he
felt
jabbing
pain
at
that
time,
he
didn't
take
it
seriously.
It
was
on
his
way
home
after
the
shoot
that
he
felt
a
stabbing
pain
in
the
chest.
It
was
so
bad
that
he
couldn't
breathe
or
move
for
a
minute."
Suniel
rushed
to
a
doctor
from
the
shoot.
It
was
an
internal
injury
of
the
muscles
and
tissue.
He
has
an
ugly
bruise,
though
there
was
no
external
bleeding.
The
doctor
prescribed
painkillers,
bed
rest
for
three
weeks
and
hot
and
cold
compresses
(applied
through
heat
and
ice)
to
help
healing
by
generating
the
blood
flow,
reducing
inflammation
and
reducing
pain."
Anna
hasn't
left
his
home
in
weeks,
as
he
wasn't
able
to
move
at
all.
He
also
had
ot
give
up
on
his
regular
workouts
and
yoga.
Any
kind
of
exercise
was
ruled
out
by
his
doctor,
which
was
hellish
for
the
fitness
freak.
The
actor
is
now
close
to
recovering
completely
and
will
be
making
his
first
public
appearance
tomorrow
at
the
press
conference
of
Ford
Endeavour
in
Mumbai.
Suniel
is
the
brand
ambassador
of
Endeavour.
Suniel
is
feeling
upbeat,
"It's
true
that
I
suffered
a
chest
injury
while
shooting
but
these
things
happen
and
I
am
on
the
way
to
recovery.
In
fact,
we
are
shooting
another
heavy-duty
action
sequence
again
for
De
Dhana
Dhan
after
January
24
and
I
should
be
able
to
participate
in
that
if
I
am
fully
recovered."
Many
actors
fell
sick
during
the
shooting
of
De
Dhana
Dhan
produced
by
Ratan
Jain,
due
to
the
unclean
water
they
were
shooting
in,
for
the
underwater
action
sequences.
These
included
Katrina
Kaif,
Sameera
Reddy
and
Suniel
Shetty.
