MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan has returned to work just days after undergoing knee surgery, resuming the shoot of director Anurag Basu’s yet-untitled romantic drama alongside actress Sreeleela.
Kartik is currently filming at Film City in Goregaon, Mumbai, where the production team has reportedly planned his scenes carefully to accommodate his recovery. Instead of physically demanding sequences, the actor is shooting close-up shots and portions requiring minimal movement, allowing production to continue without putting unnecessary strain on his recovering knee.
Kartik Returns to Set After Knee Surgery
Kartik recently suffered a serious knee injury while filming an action sequence for his upcoming sports drama directed by Kabir Khan. He was subsequently admitted to a Mumbai hospital and underwent surgery.
His surgery was reported to be successful, and the actor was later discharged and began recovering at home. His team had indicated that he would return to work once he was fit enough.
However, his quick return to the sets has come sooner than expected, with the actor now balancing his professional commitments alongside his recovery.
Close-Up Scenes Planned Around His Recovery
Given Kartik’s condition, Anurag Basu and the production team have reportedly adjusted the shooting schedule.
The actor is currently focusing on scenes that do not require extensive physical movement. Close-up sequences are being prioritised so that Kartik can continue working while avoiding unnecessary pressure on his injured knee.
The approach allows the film to move forward while giving the actor time to recover from the recent surgery.
Sreeleela Stars Opposite Kartik
The upcoming romantic drama features Sreeleela opposite Kartik Aaryan. The film remains untitled and is being directed by Anurag Basu.
The project is reportedly in its final phase of production, and the team is aiming to complete the remaining portions soon. Reports suggest that the filmmakers are hoping to wrap the shoot by the end of August if the schedule proceeds as planned.
Kartik’s Busy Line-Up Continues
Kartik’s return to the set highlights his packed professional schedule despite the recent injury.
The actor has several high-profile projects in the pipeline, including Naagzilla and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4, while his collaboration with Anurag Basu and Sreeleela remains one of the anticipated projects on his upcoming slate.
His recent career has also received a major boost after he won his first National Award for Best Actor for his performance in Chandu Champion.
Production Continues Despite Setback
Kartik’s injury could have caused a significant disruption to the romantic drama’s shooting schedule. Instead, the team has modified his portions to accommodate his recovery.
While the actor continues to heal, the production is moving ahead with scenes that can be completed without demanding strenuous physical activity.
Kartik’s early return to work demonstrates his determination to keep his professional commitments on track, even as he continues recovering from knee surgery.
