Popular
comedian
Karunakaran
recently
got
hospitalized
after
getting
injured
on
the
sets
of
Silambarasan
aka
Simbu-starrer
Maanaadu.
The
39-year-old
actor
underwent
surgery
in
his
leg
for
ALS
(Amyotrophic
Lateral
Sclerosis)
correction.
It
all
started
on
the
sets
of
Pizza
(2012)
and
Soodhu
Kavvum
(2013),
when
Karunakaran
had
hurt
his
leg.
Despite
experiencing
terrible
pain,
the
actor
ignored
that
injury
for
a
long
time.
However,
Karunakaran
once
again
got
injured
on
the
sets
of
Simbu's
Maanaadu
ahead
of
the
lockdown.
He
endured
the
pain
for
the
past
few
months
due
to
restrictions.
Recently,
after
doing
a
scan,
he
has
been
asked
to
undergo
a
surgery.
Thankfully,
the
surgery
was
successful,
after
which,
doctors
advised
Karunakaran
to
rest
for
two
weeks
in
the
hospital.
Reportedly,
he
will
get
discharged
soon
after
his
recovery.
Meanwhile,
Karunakaran
is
playing
an
important
role
in
Maanaadu.
The
shooting
of
the
STR-starrer
has
been
halted
due
to
the
COVID-19
crisis.
Directed
by
Venkat
Prabhu,
the
film
is
touted
to
be
a
political
thriller,
in
which
Kalyani
Priyadarshan
is
playing
the
female
lead
while
SJ
Suryah
is
essaying
the
role
of
an
antagonist.
