Actor Sai Dharam Tej, who met with a bike accident earlier in September, has posted a social media post for the first time post the incident, putting speculations regarding his health status to rest. The actor expressed gratitude for the concerns that have poured in ever since the accident and for the warm response his latest release, Republic, has met with.

While sharing a picture of his hand with a thumbs-up gesture, the Chitralahari-actor wrote, "Thanks is a small word to express my gratitude for your love and affection on me and my movie Republic. See you soon."

There have been several rumours regarding Sai's health, although the members of his family have maintained that he was on a recovery path. The post has clarified the speculations. 

Republic, directed by Dev Katta, was released last Friday. The film also starred Aishwarya Rajesh, Jagapathi Babu, Ramya Krishnan, and Amala, among others.
