The doctors refused to divulge other details about the surgery, but they said the 69-year-old veteran was wheeled in around 9 a.m.-9:30 a.m.

"All his family is with him, aaram se thhe (he was relaxed). His vital parameters were fine. He was taken inside. He is in a happy state," added Dr. Asthana.

The abdominal surgery is for addressing a legacy of his 1982 accident on the sets of 'Coolie' movie, Amitabh's son Abhishek had informed earlier.
