Hyderabad, Aug 12
Actor Jr NTR underwent arthroscopic surgery at a hospital in Hyderabad on Wednesday following a shoulder injury sustained during a recent film shoot.
The procedure was successfully performed at KIMS Hospitals, Secunderabad, by a team of orthopaedic surgeons. According to a health bulletin issued by the hospital, the actor is doing fine.
The bulletin stated that Jr NTR had suffered an unfortunate injury to his shoulder and, after close consultation and follow‑up care with medical specialists, it was determined that arthroscopic surgery would facilitate a quicker and more complete recovery.
A team of orthopaedic surgeons led by R. A. Purnachandra Tejswi, Nithin Bejjanki, Madhusudhan Rao and Srinivas Rao Surapaneni carried out the surgery.
The bulletin confirmed that the procedure was completely successful and that Jr NTR will now begin a structured rehabilitation programme under medical supervision. Doctors anticipate a full recovery within two to three months.
Meanwhile, Jr NTR expressed gratitude on social media, saying he was overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and prayers from fans.
"The surgery was successful, and I'm doing well. My heartfelt gratitude to the amazing team of doctors at KIMS. To my friends, family and fans; your support gives me strength every single day. See you soon," he posted on X.
The actor sustained the injury late last week, and his team announced that he was advised to take complete rest for six to eight weeks. On Tuesday, his team confirmed that surgery was scheduled for Wednesday following a medical evaluation.
The statement added that doctors were working to ensure his smooth recovery and promised to keep fans updated on his progress.

Arthroscopic surgery is quite advanced, glad they went for the quicker recovery option. But honestly, with all the VFX and body doubles available these days, why do our heroes still do such risky stunts? Anyway, wishing him a speedy recovery. Fans are really devoted, the way they shower love on him is amazing!
The man is a true professional. Even after surgery, he's posting updates and thanking fans. This is why he's called the "Man of Masses." But someone needs to tell him to be more careful on set - we can't afford to lose his talent for months! 2-3 months recovery means delays in the movie release. Hope the production team uses this time productively.
As someone who had a similar shoulder surgery last year, I can say the rehabilitation is the hardest part. Respect to NTR for going through this with such positivity. The doctor team at KIMS is excellent - they handled my uncle's knee replacement there. Complete rest for 6-8 weeks is going to bore him though! 😄 Get well soon, Tarak!
Hope he doesn't rush back too quickly. These injuries need proper time to heal or they'll recur. The movie industry in Tollywood is too competitive and demanding. Maybe this is a good time for him to relax and spend time with family. Praying for a full and quick recovery! 🙏
