while
riding
a
bike.
Speaking
of
the
same,
Pankaj
Tripathi
told
Mid-day,
"I
am
taking
precautions
by
not
lifting
weights,
no
sudden
and
harsh
movements
to
avoid
stress
on
ribs,
I
am
taking
all
the
precautionary
measurements
so
that
there
is
no
pressure
on
my
ribs.
Even
while
shooting,
the
crew
is
taking
care
not
to
give
me
scenes
or
shots
that
require
physical
stress."
"Ranveer
being
so
close,
friendly
and
electrifying,
is
also
taking
care
of
my
health
and
greets
me
from
a
distance.
On
the
set,
there
is
a
physiotherapist
who
is
helping
me
out
with
my
injury."
Pankaj
Tripathi
also
revealed
that
owing
to
his
injury,
Ranveer
Singh
and
other
co-stars
have
also
stopped
hugging
him
on
sets.
"Ranveer
and
the
cast
have
stopped
hugging
me,
fearing
they
will
hurt
will
hurt
me," said
Pankaj
Tripathi.
For
the
unversed,
Pankaj
will
play
the
role
of
former
team
India
manager
PR
Man
Singh.
Pankaj
had
earlier
said
that
he
was
sold
by
the
script
of
the
film
and
had
also
said
that
its
reading
session
was
an
emotional
journey
for
him.
"It
was
an
emotional
ride
for
me
while
going
through
the
script.
At
some
of
the
places
I
was
in
tears.
I
am
really
inspired
with
the
whole
journey
of
Kapil
Dev.
From
when
I
heard
the
script,
I
was
certain
that
I
wanted
to
be
a
part
of
this
film."
