Kartik Aaryan Undergoes Knee Surgery After Injury on Kabir Khan's Film SetPreviousNext

Actor Kartik Aaryan sustained a severe knee injury while filming intense action sequences for director Kabir Khan's upcoming untitled sports drama. The injury occurred during the final days of shooting, leading to his admission at Fortis Raheja Hospital in Mumbai, where he underwent knee surgery. Following a brief recovery period, Aaryan is expected to resume work on this project and subsequently on Anurag Basu's untitled film. This marks his second collaboration with Kabir Khan, and the injury is a setback amid his busy schedule.
