Director Mani Ratnam on Friday resumed shooting in Kolkata two days after fainting on the sets of his yet untitled movie when a stunt scene went horribly wrong.

On Wednesday, while shooting on the Vidyasagar Bridge across the Hoogly River, he fainted after seeing his lead actor Vivek Oberoi break his leg during filming.

Ratnam had been admitted to the B M Birla Heart Research Centre.

He had been suffering from fever, dehydration and low blood pressure for the last few days.

On Thursday evening, Ratnam got the green signal from doctors to resume work on Friday.

However, they have told him not to strain himself.
