Can t be part of Simmba due to injury: Madhavan

Mumbai March 25 (IANS) Actor R. Madhavan says he can t be a part of Rohit Shetty s "Simmba" due to an injury.

Madhavan underwent a shoulder surgery last month and since he is recuperating he had to even withdraw from joining actor Saif Ali Khan in Navdeep Singh s historical drama which is heavy on action scenes. Now the actor also won t be seen in "Simmba" in which he was reportedly going to play the villain.

"Hey folks... So I am a huge crazy fan of Rohit Shetty and his films. As is my son. It breaks both our hearts that I m not able to be a part of this film because of my injury. I m well on my way to recovery but this is a huge opportunity and excitement lost " Madhavan tweeted on Sunday.

Madhavan was last seen in web series "Breathe" which explores the life of an ordinary man facing extraordinary circumstances.

""The injury kind of ruined everything " the actor had told IANS in an earlier interview after he had to opt out of the Saif-starrer.
