In his blog post on Tumblr, Big B wrote, "Yes, painful. On movement and breathing. It will take some weeks before some normalization will occur." He ended the post, shared on Sunday, with a plea to fans not to gather at Jalsa as usual - a Sunday meet and greet with fans outside his home has been Big B's Sunday ritual for decades.

Amitabh Bachchan wrote, "In Hyderabad at the shoot for Project K, during an action shot, I have got injured - rib cartilage popped broke and muscle tear to the right rib cage, canceled shoot, did Doctor consult and scan by CT at the AIG Hospital in Hyderabad and flown back home. Strapping got done. Rest has got advocated. Yes, painful. On movement and breathing, it will take some weeks, they say, before some normalisation will occur. Some medication is on, also for pain."

Big B added, "So all work to be done has got suspended and canceled, dropped, postponed for the moment until healing occurs. I rest at Jalsa and am mobile for a bit, for all the essential activities, But yes, in rest and generally lying around. It shall be difficult. Or, let me say, I shall be unable to meet all the well-wishers at Jalsa Gate this evening. So do not come and do inform as much as you can to those intending to come. All else is well." Project K co-stars Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani. The film would release next year.
