Days after he suffered a ligament tear while shooting a stunt sequence for the Malayalam movie Vilayath Buddha, actor Prithviraj Sukumaran on Tuesday, 27 June, said.
Prithviraj, who will undergo physiotherapy for a couple of months, was injured on the film’s set at Marayoor in the Idukki district on Sunday afternoon.
“I had an accident while shooting an action sequence on Vilayath Buddha. Fortunately, I’m in the hands of experts who performed keyhole surgery and I’m now recouping.”
The actor, known for films such as Ayyappanum Koshiyum, Pokkiri Raja, Kuruthi, and Lucifer, said he will try his best to use the recovery period constructively.
“… and I promise to fight through the pain and recover fully and get back into action asap. Thank you to all those who reached out and expressed concern and love,” he added.
The shooting of Vilayath Buddha, directed by Jayan Nambiyar and produced by Sandip Senan, has been temporarily halted. The film is based on a book by GR Indugopan.
