The actor further disclosed that "Yuva" director Mani Ratnam suffered a heart attack upon seeing his wound. Oberoi went on, "It might become worse. It was after seeing my accident that I discovered Mani Anna had suffered a heart attack."
Nevertheless, Ajay and Abhishek kept him smiling. "Whilst both of us were recovering in the hospital, Ajay and Abhishek were with me, lifting my spirits with jokes and painkillers in a not-so-lucid state," Vivek recalled. It took the actor four months to heal from his wounds.
He hobbled back to the movie site to film the scenes for the songs "Fanaa" and "Anjaana Anjaani." Four months later, after a lot of issues, it seemed like a reunion on the sets.
While I hobbled through filming the songs Fanaa and Anjana Anjani, the entire unit cheered me on. I often marvel how we managed to pull it off," he said.
