Oprita said Nicolaescu injured his forehead but never lost consciousness and would stay in the hospital for at least 24 hours.

In May last year, Nicolaescu spent a few days in the hospital over digestive problems. In January 2008, the director underwent two brain surgeries and doctors removed a haematoma that had formed after a fall. Just days after surgery, Nicolaescu was again rushed to the hospital, this time for heart problems. He recovered at the end of January 2008.

Nicolaescu, a senator, is Romania’s most prolific director and has made over 70 films throughout his career.
