A report in an entertainment portal suggested that Kamal suffered a paralytic stroke and he was in critical condition. However, a source at Kairos Kontent Studios had dismissed all the reports of his health. ''Kamal Jain contacted an infection in his throat, which spread to his chest and lungs. There is no need to worry about his health,'' the source told ABP News reporter Ravi Jain. Kangana Ranaut, while talking to a news portal, has also refuted the rumours of Kamal Jain’s ill health. The ‘Queen’ actress said that she was in touch with Kamal and also requested everyone to stop paying heed to sensational reports. "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. Talking about 'Manikarnika', the flick  is based on the life of Rani Laxmi Bai and her war against the British East India Company. The film, which has been co-directed by Kangana and Krish, also stars Ankita Lokhande, Atul Kulkarni, Danny Denzongappa, Suresh Oberoi and Jisshu Sengupta. Watch this space for more updates!
