AMITABH BACHCHAN'S HEALTH HOLDS UP ENTIRE INDUSTRY

Amitabh Bachchan's recent surgery has put a kink into almost all of Bollywood's end-of-the-year releases. Still in the hospital, folks are estimating that after he comes home it'll be 4-5 weeks before he can return to work. This news makes producers pull their hair out. How could his body betray them?!?

FAMILY is reportedly held up because the Big B didn't finish his dubbing work on it (although the producers claim it was filmed in synch sound and is still on time) and two premieres were canceled because of the Big B's poor health: the premiere of Rohan Sippy's BLUFFMASTER was canceled, and the premiere of EK AJNABEE was canceled as well.
