Says a source from Petersborough in England, "It's not just Randhir Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor who are brothers over here on location. We're all like one big family here.
And Mithun-da is everyone's favourite. On Monday he suddenly complained of a stomach ache. He, and all of us, thought he must have eaten something that didn't agree with him. And since he wasn't required to shoot we asked him to rest it out. "
However as the day progressed the stomach pain got worse, and Mithun had to be hospitalized.
Says the source, "We were all in a panic because Mithun-da is not the least fussy. So we know it was serious. "
After investigation, tests and medication Mithun was discharged from the hospital on Tuesday.
When contacted producer Sajid Nadiadwala said, "Yes Mithun-da did have bit of a setback yesterday. He was in hospital. But he is okay now. He's now resting in the hotel. "
Adds Mithun's son Mahaakshay, "It was nothing to be alarmed about. My father only had a bout of gastric trouble. He was in hospital for a day. But he is out now. In fact the shooting of Housefull 2 is done and he returns after a couple of days. "
