A report in an entertainment portal suggested that Kamal Jain was hospitalized after he suffered a paralytic stroke. The producer is critical and battling for his life on the ventilator, the report in SpotboyE said. However, when ABP News reporter Ravi Jain contacted an official from Kairos Kontent Studios, he dismissed the reports of Kamal suffering a paralytic stroke. ''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. Citing the doctors, the source further said, ''Jain will be discharged from the hospital in three to four days.'' 'Manikarnika', which is based on the life and struggles of Rani Laxmi Bai and her war against the British East India Company, will hit the silver screens on January 25. The much-awaited movie also stars Ankita Lokhande, Atul Kulkarni, Danny Denzongappa, Suresh Oberoi and Jisshu Sengupta.
