Injuries & Surgeries: Tollywood On Break Mode
The risks being taken by Tollywood stars are now resulting in these injuries and breaks.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 28 July 2026 4:34 PM ISTWhen happening and top stars need to take rest for a couple of months, surely that will be a tough time for the film industry itself. This is because if their shootings don’t resume on time, they are likely to get delayed, and the release date gets affected, and that affects all the other planning. The risks being taken by Tollywood stars are now resulting in these injuries and breaks.
Firstly, we have Ram Charan, who got injured on the sets of Peddi and got operated on his right wrist now. He’s now advised an almost 2-month break, and that means his next with Sukumar gets delayed big time. At the same time, while performing a stunt for his next with Gopichand Malineni, Balakrishna got a ligament tear and got the surgery done. He will be taking rest for two months now. Quite unexpectedly, even Jr NTR got injured, and his shoulder needs to be taken care of, with almost 2 months of rest. That’s a shocker for sure as his “Dragon” shoot is underway with the release date for early 2026 locked.
Well, that pushed Tollywood into a break mode as three big stars are advised to take rest for 2-3 months, with no action at all. That not only pushes the projects back, but also disturbs the pipeline of other actors, producers and other stakeholders. Well, injuries are unfortunate, but most of the time these injuries happen due to actors performing risky stunts. Hope they are reading this.
