Sammir continues film shoot despite high fever

Mumbai, Nov 10 (IANS) Actor Sammir Dattani, who was shooting for Vikram Bhatt's "Life Mein Kabhi Kabhi", had to take a sudden break due to a bout of viral fever but he reported back to work without recovering from his illness.

"There's no choice," said the young actor. "Vikram has the combined dates of the entire cast including Dino Morea, Aftab Shivdasani, Nauheed Cyrusi and others. There's no way I can wriggle out of it without affecting the schedule badly.

"But it's worth it. Because I've got the role of a lifetime in Vikram's film," Sammir told IANS.

In order to be able to work, Sammir's doctor has pumped him up with intravenous injections.

"I never knew acting could be so tough," Sammir smiled weakly.

Meanwhile, Hrithik Roshan too was down with viral fever. The shooting for "Jodha-Akbar", which was supposed to commence in Jaipur Nov 7, had to be postponed for two days due to his ill health
