Amitabh Bachchan is certainly not in the pink of his health. The thespian might be flying to the US to treat his illness after he underwent a CT scan recently. According to a tabloid, the veteran will not take up any new assignments till September.

Talking to the tabloid, a source said, “It was the first time since the operation in February that Bachchan saab felt such severe pain and had to go for a CT scan soon afterwards.” “It is believed that Mr Bachchan is not doing any film before September as he`s going to Los Angeles, in May-June, where he will undergo a few tests and the required treatment to be sure,” the source added. Big B, however has committed to shoot for Rohit Shetty’s film ‘Bol Bachchan’ before September that stars his son Abhishek and Ajay Devgn.

“That`s also because Abhishek is acting in the film and has a very strong role in it. And Ajay, who`s producing it, is like family. Besides, it`s not going to be stressful as Bachchan saab`s part will be shot in just a couple of days,” said the source. The 69 year old superstar has a number of projects lined up that includes Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Sarkar 3’ and Shoojit Sircar’s ‘Johnny Mastana’.
