"Dharmendra was admitted last night after he complained of pain in right shoulder and weakness. He is here for overall health check up as well," Dr Sanjay Desai, orthopaedic, knee and shoulder specialist at Breach Candy Hospital said.
"We are doing some investigations like MRI, X-Ray and all. Once the reports come, after that only we will be able to say something," Dr Desai said.
