“Hey folks .. So I am a huge crazy fan of Rohit Shetty and his films. As is my son. It breaks both our hearts that I’m not able to be a part of this film because of my injury. I’m well on my way to recovery but this is a huge opportunity and excitement lost,” he wrote.

After ‘Saala Khadoos’ in 2016 wherein he earned massive appreciation, Madhavan hasn’t done any film in Bollywood. Here’s wishing him a quick recovery and hoping to have him back soon!
