Jr NTR to Undergo Shoulder Surgery at KIMS Hospitals Hyderabad on Aug 12
In a move that has fans holding their breath, Telugu superstar Jr NTR is set to have shoulder surgery on Wednesday, August 12, at KIMS Hospitals in Hyderabad.
The actor’s team confirmed the procedure with a statement released on August 11, noting that the operation follows a detailed medical evaluation of the injury. The statement added that the surgery will be carried out under the supervision of a team of doctors and that updates on the actor’s recovery will be provided after the operation. It also thanked fans and well‑wishers for their support and requested privacy for the actor during his treatment.
The injury first came to light a few days earlier when Jr NTR sustained a shoulder injury while filming. Doctors had advised a period of rest of six to eight weeks to allow the shoulder to heal, but a subsequent assessment led the team to decide that surgery was the best course.
Born Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao Jr., the actor is one of the highest‑paid performers in Indian cinema, with a filmography that includes more than 30 Telugu releases such as Rangasthalam, RRR, and Devara: Part 1. In addition to his work on the big screen, he has hosted television shows and is known for his dance background.
KIMS Hospitals, part of the Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences group, is a multi‑specialty chain with branches across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Kerala. The Hyderabad facility is accredited by NABH and has been recognized for nursing excellence.
The timing of the surgery comes as Jr NTR has a busy slate of projects. He is attached to Prashanth Neel’s upcoming film, tentatively referred to as NTRNeel, and the sequel Devara: Part 2, which follows the 2024 action film Devara: Part 1. No official statement has been issued regarding the impact of the surgery on the shooting schedules of these films.
The actor’s team said they will keep the public informed about his progress once the surgery is completed and thanked the media for respecting his privacy during this period. At present, no further details are available about the expected recovery timeline or how the surgery may affect Jr NTR’s upcoming releases.
The situation underscores the importance of health management for high‑profile performers whose schedules often involve intensive physical activity. The medical community and the entertainment industry continue to monitor the case closely, with updates expected from the actor’s team as the recovery progresses.
