Rana Daggubati undergoes surgery

Actor Rana Daggubati has been busy, shooting for his assignments in the South and Bollywood simultaneously. The actor who has been living out of a suitcase, recently had to slow down a little when he had to take a few days rest. While shooting in Hyderabad for his upcoming South project, Rana had to be rushed to a hospital when he got injured on the sets.

Rana has been stationed in Hyderabad since the past couple of weeks as he is shooting for Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum. A source from the sets describes what actually transpired.

“Recently, while shooting for his south film KVJ (Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum) in Hyderabad, Rana suffered a major jaw injury. He was shooting for an intense action sequence, which included a lot of muscle and hand fight like punches and kicks etc. Accidentally, he got punched really hard on his jaw and suffered an injury. The punch was so hard that he had to stop the shoot and rush for a jaw surgery immediately. Obviously the shoot had to be stalled for the day and the entire crew panicked.”

Though the actor was in immense pain, he didn’t want to disrupt the shooting schedule and insisted on resuming the day’s shoot.

However, his director refused and cancelled the shooting. But Rana did land up on the sets the very next day. The source adds, “He insisted on shooting and landed up on the sets, sharp at his call time. He was surviving on a heavy dose of pain killers. He even decided to fulfill all his other professional commitments that included making a few public appearances at events.”
