Chiranjeevi gives an update
On Sunday, Chiranjeevi took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share an update on Pawan Kalyan’s health after his surgery. The actor-politician has been advised complete rest for about ten days as he recuperates.
Chiranjeevi shared that he is safe and stable after undergoing surgery, and is expected to return to his normal routine in a week.
“Kalyan Babu has successfully undergone a medical procedure and is now safe, stable, and recovering well,” he wrote.
Chiranjeevi continued, “As per the doctors, it may take about a week for him to return to his normal routine. There is no cause for concern. Thank you all for your love, concern, and prayers. Let us keep him in our thoughts and wish him strength, comfort, and a speedy recovery.”
The news of Pawan Kalyan’s surgery was first revealed through a statement from the official X account of the Office of the Deputy Chief Minister. It read: “Honorable Deputy Chief Minister Shri @PawanKalyan underwent surgery on Saturday evening. On Friday morning, while discussing administrative matters with his officials, he suddenly fell severely ill. He has been facing health issues for the past few months. Consequently, on the advice of his personal doctors, he cancelled his official programs for Friday and went to the hospital. There, along with medical tests, an MRI was also conducted. After reviewing them, the doctors decided that surgery was necessary and performed it. The doctors have advised that he can participate in official programs after a week to ten days of rest. However, they have stated that long-term precautions are necessary, and it will take more time for complete recovery.”
Later, his wife Anna Lezhneva took to her Instagram Stories and wrote, “He is recovering. All is well. Thank you.”
Pawan Kalyan’s recent project
Pawan Kalyan was most recently seen in Harish Shankar’s adaptation of the 2016 Tamil film Theri, Ustaad Bhagat Singh. The film was released in theatres on March 19, clashing with Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge in the Telugu states. The film’s box office response was impacted due to Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller.
After opening to lukewarm reviews and grossing around ₹95 crore worldwide, the film starring Pawan Kalyan and Sreeleela premiered on Netflix on April 16. The OTT release sparked a fresh wave of trolling from fans disappointed with the film.
Ustaad Bhagat Singh was announced as Bhavadeeyudu Bhagat Singh in 2021 and was hyped as it’s Harish and Pawan’s second film after their 2012 hit Gabbar Singh, a remake of Dabangg. The film is one of the films Pawan signed before he contested in the Andhra Pradesh elections and became the Deputy Chief Minister.
