Prithviraj Sukumaran Undergoes Successful Knee Surgery, Upcoming Film Projects Including Empuraan Face Changes
Prithviraj Sukumaran Undergoes Successful Knee Surgery: Prithviraj Sukumaran, the acclaimed actor who sustained a leg injury during filming, has undergone successful surgery, according to Film Trade Analyst A. B. George.
The surgery was performed at a private hospital in Kochi, where keyhole surgery was carried out on his leg ligaments. Prithviraj, who was injured while shooting a fight scene for the film "Vilayath Buddha" in Marayur, was admitted to the hospital and is expected to be discharged within the next two days.
In light of the surgery, Prithviraj has been advised to take a rest period of one to two months for a full recovery. As a result, there will be adjustments to the current plans for his upcoming movies, including "Vilayath Buddha," "Guruvayoor Ambala Nadayil," and "Empuraan." However, the filming of "Salaar" will remain unaffected as Prithviraj has already completed his portions for the film, as mentioned by A. B. George on Twitter.
Fans and well-wishers have taken to social media platforms to express their support and send warm messages for Prithviraj's speedy recovery.
