Saif Ali Khan's injury

The 53-year-old actor had elbow surgery after an old injury was aggravated during his recent film shoot. He reportedly suffered the injury while shooting for Vishal Bhardwaj-directed Rangoon in 2017.

According to a source, the actor was admitted to the hospital on Monday, where he underwent elbow surgery. "He is doing well," the insider said previously to news agency PTI.

"This injury and the surgery that followed is a part of the wear and tear of what we do. I am very happy to be in such amazing surgical hands and thank all well-wishers for their love and concern," Saif said in a statement post surgery on Monday. He did not reveal much about the nature of the injury.
