Jagan Shakti, who made his debut as a director with Akshay Kumar’s Mission Mangal, is receiving help from the actor with his medical expenses. A Hindustan Times report quoted a source saying that Akshay Kumar asked his team to get in touch with Jagan Shakti's family immediately and helped them cover the medical expenses: “Akshay is very attached to every director he has worked with, and doesn't step back from helping them in any way, apart from the various social causes he is anyway associated with. He was aback when he heard this news and made sure his team immediately reached out to Jagan's family to take care of all the medical expenses,” the source said.

The Mission Mangal director rushed to Mumbai's Kokilaben Hospital on Saturday after he collapsed during a get-together with friends.
