Actor Kartik Aaryan recently suffered an injury while shooting for an action sequence for filmmaker Kabir Khan’s sports drama. The actor underwent knee surgery at a hospital in Mumbai and is recuperating at home. Posting pictures and cracking ‘break a leg’ and ‘out of service’ jokes, the actor gave fans an update that left Kabir cracking up.
It was supposed to be released for Independence Day this year. Last seen in Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, Kartik has a yet-to-be-titled film with filmmaker Anurag Basu and actor Sreeleela. He also has a creature-comedy film with Mrigdeep Singh Lamba titled Naagzilla – Naag Lok Ka Pehla Kaand.
The film’s release has been postponed to 2027.
The film has been in production since last year.
Kartik suffered a knee injury on August 18 while shooting his next sports drama with Kabir, after Chandu Champion (2024). “Kartik Aaryan sustained a knee injury while performing an action sequence on the set of his film. His surgery was completed successfully, and he is now back home, resting and recovering. The actor has a couple of films lined up.
He will be back on set soon,” his spokesperson told India Today on Sunday.
Kartik posted pictures of his injured knee, which showed him wearing a brace. Another sees the actor playing tennis, kicking high up in the air and running when his knee was better. A picture also shows him relaxing at his home with a view of the Sea Link. Another picture also shows fans wearing similar t-shirts and masks featuring his face.
One funny picture reads ‘foot out of service’, and another says ‘they aren’t socks if they aren’t super! “Kabir sir said – Break a leg,” he joked in the caption.
