Renowned Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan underwent knee surgery at a leading Mumbai hospital after sustaining an injury while shooting an intense action scene for Kabir Khan’s upcoming sports drama. His spokesperson confirmed the procedure was a success and that he is now recuperating at home.

Kartik has assured fans that he will complete his rehabilitation and resume shooting as soon as possible. While the injury may cause a slight delay in the film’s schedule, the production team remains confident about his swift comeback.

This is not the first time the actor has faced a knee injury on set. In 2023, he suffered a similar setback while filming the movie Shehzada, earning praise for his resilience.

His previous collaboration with Kabir Khan, the 2024 biopic Chandu Champion, celebrated India’s first Paralympic gold‑medalist Murlikant Petkar. The upcoming project, reportedly inspired by real‑life athlete Tajamul Islam, will see Kartik portray a kick‑boxing coach training a young Kashmiri girl.

The film also marks Kartik’s debut as a producer under his banner Dopamine Studios, with Kabir co‑producing. A release date has yet to be announced.

Why This Matters
