Ram will be required to take a few weeks off to begin a structured rehabilitation program before resuming his professional commitments. He will only be able to shoot again after receiving medical clearance. According to a statement, he is now recovering well, and the medical team is pleased with the outcome of the surgery.

The surgery was led by Dr. S. Rajasekaran, Chairman of Ganga Hospital and a globally renowned orthopedic surgeon. Given the complexity of the wrist injury, internationally acclaimed hand and wrist surgeon Dr. Alejandro Badia from Miami, USA, joined the surgical team to perform the procedure. The surgery was successfully completed by Dr. S. Rajasekaran, Dr. Alejandro Badia, Dr. Praveen Bharadwaj, and their team of specialists.

“During his stay in Coimbatore, Chiranjeevi, Surekha, and Upasana have been by Ram Charan’s side, supporting him throughout the treatment and recovery process. The family sincerely thanks everyone for their love, prayers, and unwavering support. Fans across the world are wishing Ram Charan a speedy and complete recovery and look forward to seeing him back on set with renewed strength and energy,” the statement added. 

Ram Charan’s next film is helmed by Sukumar. Tentatively titled RC17, the film’s scripting is completed, and it’s in the pre-production stage. The shooting will only commence after Ram Charan completely recovers. This year, Ram Charan is the third member of the family to undergo surgery. Earlier this year, Ram’s father Chiranjeevi underwent shoulder surgery. Recently, Pawan Kalyan also underwent rotator cuff surgery in Mumbai.

Talking about his wrist injury with India Today, Ram Charan had said, “It was one tear, but now it’s seven tears because of the 20 days of shoot. I just had to get through the film.” At the film’s trailer launch, Ram Charan had said, “We were shooting for the kushti scenes for over 25-30 days. I had asked him to bring trained actors, but Buchi Babu Sana brought real pehelwaans; they grabbed me tightly during a scene, that’s when the cartilage tear happened. It’s fine, it is worth it and a beautiful memory of Peddi.”

About Peddi

Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Ram Charan’s film Peddi opened to a mixed response at the box office. The film also received backlash over objectifying its female lead, Janhvi Kapoor. Several close-up shots and physical advances by Ram’s character faced objection from the audience; following the public outrage, Buchi Babu Sana issued an apology and also removed a few scenes that had offended the viewers.

The director said in an interview last month, “There was so much negativity. Even the people who wanted it guaranteed it wouldn’t happen. I was disappointed. I thought it wouldn’t meet my expectations at the start. In the trailer, too many things were packed into one scene; it was just too much. We just can’t afford such things with big movies.”

“Lots of people are giving reviews. Some have followers in the hundreds of thousands, like 500k, 600k, even a million. When they give a review, they put the phone down and instead of just talking about it on the side, they post reels or video clips. They’re giving personal reviews, and that word-of-mouth is really working,” Buchi Babu Sana added.

Following the backlash, the production team added footage for 5 minutes 56 seconds to the film’s re-edited version. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Peddi collected Rs 341.73 crores at the box office worldwide.
