MUMBAI, Oct 11: Superstar Amitabh Bachchan, who turned 66 today, was rushed to a hospital in Mumbai following abdominal pain. According to Times Now,

Amitabh Bachchan had been complaining of stomach pain since last night.

He was taken to the Nanavati Hospital, which has been cordoned off by police because they expect a large number of fans to come there.

However, the Bachchan family said that he had been taken to the hospital for routine check-up.

The superstar had taken a break from shooting to spend the day with his grandchildren, who have come over from Delhi for their Dussehra-Diwali vacation.

Bachchan’s family members, including his actor son Abhishek, daughter-in-law Aishwariya Rai Bachchan and daughter Shweta Nanda accompanied the superstar at the hospital.

Eyewitnesses said Bachchan was seen being taken into the hospital on a stretcher.

Film producer and Bachchan's friend, Manoj Desai, said there was no need to panic.

"He is undergoing routine check-up at the hospital," Desai said outside Bachchan's Juhu residence.

Earlier, in December 2005, Amitabh Bachchan was successfully operated upon for infection, inflammation and perforation in his small and large intestines at Leelavati Hospital.

Bachchan was admitted to Escorts Hospital in New Delhi on November 28, 2005, following complaint of abdominal pain and was brought to Leelavati Hospital, where he underwent treatment for almost two months.
