The actor, 29, was in surgery for a shoulder injury that he endured while shooting an action sequence from his upcoming film "Bajirao Mastani".
"It was a big action scene and I was riding a horse when the accident happened. I broke my shoulder and tore some ligament, which had to be re-attached. Now I am in physiotherapy phase and trying to get stronger to resume work," Ranveer told PTI.
When asked about the much retweeted selfie where he is seen grinning while lying just before his surgery, Ranveer started laughing.
The actor is known for his quirky stunts in real life. Earlie he danced in public to a Hrithik Roshan song and in "Krrish" costume when the "Bang Bang!" star threw him a dare.
