Mumbai, August 09: Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has had to cancel last-minute promotions of his production ‘Peepli Live’ as he is down with fever.
“Am feeling very helpless lying in bed a few days before the release. All the last lap interviews and promotions are cancelled 🙁 doomed (sic),” Aamir wrote on his Facebook page on Monday.
‘Peepli Live’, a satire on the farmers’ suicides and the subsequent media and political response, releases on August 13.
The 44-year-old actor, who returned from Melbourne on Saturday morning, was running a 103 degree temperature and had to cancel his scheduled live chat on Facebook as he had no strength to travel to the venue.
“Guys I am most disappointed, I am down with very heavy fever, 103. Returned from Melbourne this morning with fever and was in bed all day to try and recover before tonight. But I have been hit hard this time. Won’t be able to make it for the chat especially as I have to travel to Chembur for it,” he wrote in an earlier post.
