Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has been hospitalised a day after testing positive for COVID-19.

The actor said he was doing fine but decided to get admitted as a "precautionary measure under medical advice".

Many crew members of the film he was working on in Mumbai city have also tested positive.

Several Indian states have reported a sharp increase in COVID-19 case numbers in recent weeks.

The western state of Maharashtra, where Mumbai is located, has been the biggest contributor to the surge. India on Sunday breached the 100,000 mark for the first time since the pandemic began in March last year.

Maharashtra alone accounted for 57,000 new cases on Sunday.
