Later in the day, photographs emerged showing Amitabh Bachchan and his son Abhishek attending the final match of the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) between Majhi Mumbai and Tiigers of Kolkata at the Dadoji Kondadev Stadium in Thane, contradicting the earlier reports of his hospital visit.
In a video circulating on social media, Bachchan can be seen leaving the stadium when someone from the crowd inquires about his health. Initially, the actor gestures that everything is alright, but when asked directly, he responds, “Fake news.”
The rumors began in the afternoon, with some claiming he had visited the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital for a routine check-up. Others stated that he had been hospitalized for an angioplasty procedure to address a blockage in his leg. However, there was no official confirmation from either the hospital or Bachchan’s office for most of the day.

Several individuals, including Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam, expressed their prayers and wishes for Amitabh Bachchan’s speedy recovery. Scores of fans also sent well wishes and prayers for his good health.
Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in a cameo appearance in Tiger Shroff’s “Ganapath.” His upcoming projects include “Kalki AD 2898” starring Deepika Padukone and Prabhas, as well as the Tamil film “Vettaiyan” alongside Rajinikanth.
