Rajesh Sharma hospitalized after serious insect bite on Prabhas's film

Veteran actor Rajesh Sharma was recently hospitalized at Manipal Hospital, Dhakuria in Kolkata, after he suffered a serious insect bite while shooting for a Prabhas-starrer at Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad.

The news was shared by actor Sudipa Chatterjee on Facebook on Wednesday. She revealed that the incident occurred when Sharma was talking to local technicians in an area with "dense vegetation" after completing his shoot.

Details of the actor's condition

Chatterjee's post further detailed that Sharma initially dismissed the insect bite, but about six hours later, he started experiencing severe pain in his right leg.

His condition worsened as he boarded a flight to Kolkata, where he developed a high fever.

More than a day later, he continues to battle high fever, breathlessness and a rapidly progressing infection in his right leg.
