Balakrishna’s nephew, actor Nandamuri Kalyanram, wished him well on social media. He wrote, “Get well soon Babai. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I am sure you will be back in action in no time, doing what you love the most.”
Previous injuries
This is not the first time Balakrishna has been hurt while shooting. In 2014, he injured his leg while filming a bike chase sequence on the Hyderabad-Warangal highway. He was rushed to Kamineni Hospital in LB Nagar, where doctors found a major wound between his toes that required stitches. He was later discharged and advised rest. In 2021, during rehearsals for a song in Akhanda, the actor dislocated his shoulder. Director Boyapati Srinu revealed that Balakrishna insisted on continuing the shoot the next day despite the pain, saying he wanted to give fans the treat they deserved.
