The test confirmed that he is suffering from dengue.”The report further said, “He has been advised rest. Emraan, being a thorough professional, immediately told the makers about his condition and expressed regret over his inability to shoot.

The makers understood the situation; they told him not to worry and that he should focus on his health as that comes first.”The report quoted the source concluding, “Emraan Hashmi is resting at home. There’s no clarity yet but he’ll probably be out of action for a week. Once he recuperates, he’ll resume shooting for OG.”
