Rajesh Sharma DENIES Insect Bite During Fauzi Shoot; Says, “Nothing Happened on Prabhas’s Film Set”

Rajesh Sharma said a long-standing leg infection, not an insect bite on the set, led to his July hospitalisation and he is now recovering.

  • Actor Rajesh Sharma denied that his hospitalization was linked to the shoot of Prabhas-starrer Fauzi in Hyderabad, stating, "Nothing happened on Prabhas's film set."
  • Director Sudipa Chatterjee had previously claimed Sharma suffered an insect bite while shooting, but Sharma explained she was misinformed and that neither Prabhas nor the production unit was responsible.
  • Sharma revealed that a long-standing skin condition on his right leg developed into an infection, which became severe after he returned to Kolkata due to high diabetes levels.
  • Having completed his treatment, Sharma is currently recovering and remains hopeful about returning to work, revealing he may resume shooting within a week.
  • Directed by Priyadarshan, Fauzi is scheduled for release on September 11, 2026, while Sharma will next appear in Haiwaan alongside Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar.
