Jr NTR has returned home after undergoing a successful arthroscopic shoulder surgery at KIMS Hospitals in Secunderabad. The actor was discharged from the hospital and is now recuperating at his residence in Jubilee Hills.

KIMS Hospitals shared a picture of NTR with the medical team that treated him. Sporting a shoulder sling, the actor posed alongside the doctors, who confirmed that he is doing well following the procedure.

The surgery was performed under the supervision of Dr. R. A. Purnachandra Tejaswi and Dr. Nithin Bejjanki. In its official statement, KIMS said NTR had been successfully discharged following the procedure and would continue his recovery through a structured rehabilitation programme under medical supervision.

KIMS CMD Dr. B. Bhaskar Rao also wished the actor a speedy and complete recovery.

Injury During Fitness Training

NTR reportedly suffered the shoulder injury while working out at his gym. The actor has been undergoing an intense physical transformation for his upcoming project ‘Dragon’, directed by Prashanth Neel.

The actor is believed to have lost considerable weight and developed a lean, athletic physique for his role as Luger, reportedly an assassin in the film. His demanding fitness routine is said to have been an important part of preparing for the character.

What’s Next for NTR?

With the surgery now successfully completed, NTR is expected to take some time away from shooting and concentrate on his rehabilitation. His return to the sets of ‘Dragon’ will depend on his recovery and medical advice.

The film marks NTR’s much-awaited collaboration with director Prashanth Neel and has already generated significant anticipation among fans. For now, the actor’s priority is a complete recovery before getting back to work.

With NTR safely back home and beginning the rehabilitation phase, fans will be hoping to see the Superstar make a strong and healthy return to the sets soon.
