The actor who injured himself on Tuesday is back on the sets after taking a break for just a day. Akshay Kumar was advised a week's rest to recuperate by the doctors after he injured his right foot while shooting an action scene for Vipul Shah's Thupakki on Tuesday. However, the actor was back on the sets yesterday.

The shoot was at the Mumbai Central railway station and A R Murugadoss, the director of the film, ensured the scene didn't require much footwork from the actor. A segway was specially brought in to help Akshay navigate from his vanity van to the platform. Apparently, he woke up Vipul in the middle of the night on Wednesday and insisted the shoot be resumed.

A source close to the production house told Mumbai Mirror, "All necessary permissions were taken in the morning to ensure a smooth shoot. It was an 800-member strong unit with around 300 artistes dressed in military outfits. Akshay, who was also in uniform, appeared to be limping a bit while giving the shots." Vipul mentioned, "Akshay's main concern was losing out on crucial days of filming."

Murgadoss, who was present on the set, looked visibly nervous as he was concern about the actor's health and did his best to ensure any further injury is avoided. He said, "I am impressed with Akshay's bravery and his commitment towards his work. The doctors had advised him to take rest for at least a week."The accident occurred at Film City on Tuesday while filming a hardcore action scene involving a speeding truck.
