Agency report

Mumbai, Mar 27: Superstar Amitabh Bachchan has suffered from a bout of exertion more than three months after he was operated upon for intestinal problem.

Bachchan, who resumed shooting a week ago after a two-month rest, was slated to leave for Kolkata on Saturday but cancelled the trip at the last minute citing health problems.

"He has been shooting continuously for the past five days, for Karan Johar's film Kabhie Alvida Na Kahna and also for his make up man Deepak Sawant's Bhojpuri film Ganga," a source on the sets of Ganga said.

"Obviously, he has suffered from exhaustion... it is nothing serious but he wanted to take rest," the source added.

However, Bachchan's family doctor Jayant Barve denied any knowledge of the star's illness. He also denied knowledge of an impending surgery.

Bachchan was hospitalised for more than 20 days after he was operated on for diverticulitis of small intestine on November 30 at Lilavati Hospital here.
