Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut on Sunday quashed the reports of Manikarnika producer Kamal Jain suffering a paralytic stroke. The actress said that Kamal Jain is "fine" and on "road to recovery".  The film stars Kangana in the lead role as Rani Laxmibai and is scheduled to hit the screens on January 25.

“He is doing fine. The reports are misleading. He fell sick last week and is on his way to recovery. I am in touch with him everyday. Request everyone to please stop backing sensational reports,” Kangana told Times Now.

Earlier, reports claimed that Kamal Jain was put on a ventilator after he suffered a paralytic stroke.

Jain had tweeted about his health, "Dear friends, this certainly is not the best time to be in the hospital. Hope to get well soon and enjoy the success of our collective dream & hardwork. My best wishes to all."

His message read, "Certainly not the best time to be in the hospital and not being able to be in the middle of hard work bearing fruits.
Missing the team of Manikarnika, Kangana Ranaut, Prasoon ji, Vijeyandra ji, Shankar Ehsan Loy, Ankita, Mishti and others in the final leg of promotions.
