Veteran actor Anupam Kher on Monday said he has sustained a hairline fracture while shooting for his upcoming slice-of-life film ”Vijay 69”.

The upcoming OTT film from YRF Entertainment will be directed by Akshay Roy. It will narrate the life of a sexagenarian man (Kher) who decides to compete in a triathlon contest at the age of 69.

”You do a sports film and you don’t get injured! How can this be possible? During the shooting of #Vijay69 yesterday, there was a serious injury in the shoulder.

”It is painful, but when the brother who put the sling on the shoulder told that he had decorated the shoulders of @iamsrk and @iHrithik with this sling, then do not know why the feeling of pain has subsided a bit! But by the way, if I cough a little hard, then a little scream definitely comes out of my mouth,” Kher wrote alongside a photograph clicked after he underwent the treatment.

The actor added that the shooting will resume after a couple of days. ”Vijay 69” will be produced by filmmaker Maneesh Sharma, known for directing YRF titles such as “Band Baaja Baaraat”, “Shuddh Desi Romance” and “Fan”.

आप स्पोर्ट्स फ़िल्म करो और आप घायल ना हो!! ऐसा कैसे हो सकता है? कल #Vijay69 की शूटिंग के दौरान कंधे में अच्छी ख़ासी चोट लगी।दर्द तो है पर जब कंधे पर sling लगाने वाले भैया ने बताया की उन्होंने ही @iamsrk और @iHrithik के कंधों को इस स्लिंग से सजाया था तो पता नहीं क्यों दर्द का… pic.twitter.com/zwaxDrIJhh
