Amitabh Bachchan 'stable' after surgery

Indian movie icon Amitabh Bachchan was recovering after surgery in a Mumbai hospital on Thursday as hundreds of fans prayed for the superstar.

Doctors declined to divulge details about the surgery, but media reports said he was treated for inflammation of the intestine on Wednesday after he had complained of stomach pain.

"He has undergone surgery. He is okay. I cannot disclose anything else at this stage," Jayant Barve, a doctor at Lilavati Hospital, said by telephone from Mumbai.

Hundreds of fans crowded around the gates of the hospital and a stream of filmstars, industrialists and a yoga guru went to see Bachchan, once called the "angry young man" of Indian cinema for the roles he played.
