Model-turned-Bollywood actor John Abraham was admitted to Lilavati Hospital in suburban Bandra, Mumbai.
Superstar Amitabh Bachchan, who underwent a successful surgery for 'diverticulitis' of the small intestine on November 30, is recuperating in the same hospital.
"Abraham, aged 32, was admitted to the hospital last night with fever. Investigations will be carried out," said hospital spokesperson and vice president Narendra Trivedi.
Abraham was suffering from viral fever and bronchitis from mid-November, when he went for a shoot in Kabul for his film Kabul Express, Bollywood sources said. The sources added that since he was not well, he came back and was being treated. He was to return to Kabut for a month-long shoot for the film in December.
The film's team, stationed in Kabul, has been provided tight security after the killing of an Indian, Maniappan Raman Kutty, in Afghanistan last month. The film is directed by Kabir Khan, a documentary filmmaker who has considerable experience of filming in Afghanistan.
Kabul Express, a thriller, tells the story of a 48-hour long car drive in Afghanistan. Abraham plays the role of a television director.
