According to the film’s director Jayan Nambiar, Prithviraj suffered the injury while deboarding a bus. He was rushed to the hospital immediately. Jayan added, “The doctors advised that it is better to perform the surgery and told Prithviraj to take rest for six weeks. This happened while only one day’s shoot was left. However, since Prithviraj is inevitable for the scenes left to be shot, we have decided to pause the filming till he is back.”

Other than Prithviraj, Vilayath Buddha also stars Anu Mohan and Priyamvada Krishnan.
