Despite the discomfort, he continued shooting and completed crucial portions of the film with remarkable dedication and commitment. His passion, perseverance, and unwavering professionalism have been truly inspiring to the entire team. We are glad to know that he is doing well. We wish him a smooth and speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back in the best of health very soon.”

Ram Charan is recovering in Coimbatore, where his family has been with him. Chiranjeevi, his wife Surekha, and Charan's wife Upasana are all present in Coimbatore and are taking care of his recovery.

Surgery was successfully completed

According to sources close to the development, Charan's hand surgery was performed at Ganga Hospital, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. This surgery was done by a team of doctors, which included renowned doctor Dr. Alessandro Badia and Dr. Praveen Bharadwaj, led by Chief of Ganga Hospital Dr. S. Rajasekharan.

Updating on the surgery, a source informed HT City, "The surgery was super successful. It was a complicated procedure but was managed with precision laparoscopically.”

How Ram Charan got injured

It was reported that Ram Charan had hurt his right wrist during the shooting of the intense action scene involving wrestlers in the movie Peddi. Despite the injury, he preferred to go ahead with the promotions of the movie rather than getting himself treated.

Later on, after a complete examination of the injury by the doctors, it was suggested to Ram Charan that in order to avoid any future problems, it would be better if he got an operation done.

What's next for Ram Charan

After being declared fit by doctors to go back to work, it seems like Ram Charan will start making plans for his highly-anticipated project with director Sukumar (RC17).
