Dr. Rajasekhar, who recently returned to movies after a long hiatus, has sustained a serious leg injury while shooting for his upcoming film in Medchal. The incident occurred on November 25th during an action-related sequence, resulting in multiple fractures to his ankle.
According to unit sources, the actor suffered a right ankle bimalleolar dislocation with a compound fracture, a severe injury typically associated with high-impact trauma. He was immediately taken for medical evaluation, where doctors recommended urgent surgical intervention to prevent further complications.
Rajasekhar subsequently underwent a major surgery lasting nearly three hours. Despite the complexity of the procedure and the intense pain he endured, the surgery was successful, and the actor is currently in recovery.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Dr. Rajasekhar has gone through such an ordeal. On November 15, 1989, he suffered a similar left-leg injury during the shoot of Magadu, once again reflecting his unwavering dedication to performing demanding action scenes.
His upcoming film Biker is in post-production, and he is also part of two more untitled projects, whose schedules may now be adjusted depending on how soon he recovers. Fans, colleagues, and well-wishers from the film fraternity have started to send heartfelt prayers and wishes for the actor’s speedy recovery.
