Veteran actor Rajesh Sharma is hospitalized in Kolkata after a suspected insect bite during the filming of a movie starring Prabhas at Hyderabad’s Ramoji Film City. Multiple reports say his condition worsened within hours of the incident, leading to admission and close medical monitoring. NDTV reports he is treated in the hospital’s critical care unit, with officials describing his breathlessness and blood sugar as stabilised, though he is not yet considered out of danger. Times of India adds that the infection spreads to his knee and that he remains under observation.
Family and statements have also been part of the dispute: Times of India reports Sharma’s family medical statement was deleted within 24 hours, while the workers’ body AICWA calls for an investigation into the incident. AICWA also demands that Sharma’s medical costs be covered and seeks action against alleged negligence related to the bite and subsequent care. The overall reporting focuses on Sharma’s ongoing treatment, the rapid progression of symptoms, and the demand for a probe into workplace conditions at the shoot.
