The crew including Katrina Kaif (who, as reported, has set aside all other projects) has been keeping itself on hold monitoring Salman's post-surgery recuperation. Now they can heave a sigh of relief, as Salman is well on the way to recovery.
Says a source close to the actor, "After the seven-hour surgery the doctors had prescribed a strict regime for Salman to follow. But he has defied the rules, as usual. He's filled with mauj-masti in the US. He's very happy.
Salman has been calling up his brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri for the boxoffice figures of Bodyguard. Though the doctors have predicted the possibility of a second surgery three months from now, Salman has healed with amazing dexterity leaving even his surgeons flummoxed. "
Atul Aghnihotri confirms Salman's heartening recovery. "Salman has a Trigeminal Neuralgia with an AV Malformation. He also has another rare complication. He has been treated in the US. The procedure took seven hours and it is successful. "
About Salman not paying attention to doctors' orders Atul says, "He is en route to recovery defying post-operation instructions. That's Salman for you. "
About further treatment Atul says, "Salman has to get a checkup done in three months to decide if he needs to get a second procedure done. He should commence shooting for Yashraj soon in Dublin. "
Sources at Yashraj confirm that the shooting resumes on September 10 which incidentally is the date when Salman's last Eid release Dabangg had released.
