Veteran actress and politician Jaya Bachchan has been away from the films for a while. She was last seen on the big screen in the 2016 film "Ki & Ka", where she played herself in a cameo. However, she is all set to return. The 73-year-old star will be seen in a full feature role in Karan Johar's latest-announced film "Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani". The film also features Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt along with Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi.

Sharing a picture, he wrote, "Had a freak accident in Chennai on the set of my new film last Wednesday. Fractured my right hand. Needed surgery to fix it! So a quick trip back home to Mumbai. Surgery done, all patched-up and casted. And now back in Chennai to resume work. As they say... The show must go on! And as my father said.... Mard ko dard nahin hota!
Ok, ok, ok it hurt a little."
He concluded by thanking his fans for their wishes. "Thank you all for your wishes and get-well-soon messages," he said.
