Recently, Allu Sirish visited Chiranjeevi’s residence to personally invite him for his wedding and present the first wedding card. During the visit, Chiranjeevi was seen with his arm secured in a sling, which immediately raised concerns among fans and well-wishers.

Soon after visuals from the visit surfaced, speculation began circulating online, with many fans fearing that the megastar might have suffered a serious injury or that it could affect his upcoming projects. Putting an end to the rumours, Chiranjeevi chose to address the issue directly.

Taking to X, the actor issued a reassuring statement, clarifying that there was no major health issue involved. He explained that the sling was due to a minor shoulder keyhole procedure and stressed that it was a routine, precautionary surgery.

In his statement, Chiranjeevi said, “Several well-wishers have enquired about my health after noticing the arm sling. It was just a minor shoulder keyhole surgery. I am recovering well and already getting back to my routine. My heartfelt thanks to Dr Nithin, one of the finest arthroscopy surgeons, for his care and expertise in making the procedure smooth and comfortable. Grateful for all your love, concern and blessings.”

The clarification has brought relief to fans, who flooded social media with messages wishing him a speedy recovery.

On the work front, Chiranjeevi will next be seen in the upcoming big-budget film Vishwambhara. He is also set to reunite with director Bobby (KS Ravindra) for their second collaboration, which is expected to go on floors soon.
