A source close to the actor revealed that the pain in his jaw returned when shooting for the film in Cuba last month. Speaking to the Hindustan Times, one of Salman’s friends said that the actor is continuing to take medication for the problem. “Salman is on medication for the same. But he doesn’t worry about it much. People suffer from all kinds of conditions - blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol. This too is a physical condition. This doesn’t mean that it will deter Salman from living his life to the fullest”, his friend said.
