Actor Akshay Kumar has extended his heartfelt wishes to veteran actor Rajesh Sharma, who is currently undergoing treatment after suffering a serious health scare while shooting for Prabhas’ upcoming film Fauji in Hyderabad.
Rajesh Sharma was reportedly hospitalised after a suspected insect bite during the film’s shoot. Although the bite initially appeared to be minor, his condition worsened over the next few hours, forcing him to seek urgent medical attention after returning to Kolkata.
Expressing his concern, Akshay Kumar took to X (formerly Twitter) and shared a picture with his longtime co-star and friend. Along with the photo, he wrote an emotional message praying for Rajesh’s speedy recovery.
“Very concerned to hear about my dear friend Rajesh’s health condition after an insect bite while shooting. Hope Mahadev blesses him with a fast and complete recovery. Jaldi theek ho ja yaar, abhi saath baith ke bahut hansna hai,” Akshay wrote.

The heartfelt message touched fans, many of whom joined the actor in wishing Rajesh a quick recovery.
Akshay Kumar and Rajesh Sharma have shared screen space in several successful films over the years, including Special 26, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Laxmii, and the upcoming Bhooth Bangla. Their long-standing professional association has also grown into a close friendship, making Akshay’s message even more emotional.
Meanwhile, Rajesh Sharma’s health has also sparked concern within the film industry. The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) has demanded a high-level investigation into the incident, questioning whether adequate safety measures and emergency medical facilities were available at the shooting location.
The association has urged the Telangana government to investigate the exact circumstances that led to Rajesh’s medical emergency and determine whether all mandatory workplace safety, hygiene, and health protocols were followed on the Fauji set.
AICWA has also stressed that every artist, technician, and crew member deserves a safe working environment, adding that negligence on film sets can have serious consequences.
As of now, Rajesh Sharma remains under medical care, while doctors continue to monitor his condition closely. The makers of Fauji have not yet released an official statement regarding the incident.
Fans and members of the film fraternity continue to pray for the veteran actor’s speedy recovery, hoping to see him back on screen soon.
