Mega Prince Varun Tej hit a painful roadblock while preparing for his next big project. The actor suffered a severe leg injury during an intense volleyball practice session for his upcoming film, Bhaari.

Following the accident, he was immediately rushed to Apollo Hospital in Hyderabad. After assessing the injury, doctors advised a minor surgery, which is scheduled to take place today. The sudden news quickly spread online, leaving mega fans feeling anxious about their favorite star’s health.

Bhaari is shaping up to be a gritty rural sports drama, and Varun wasn’t taking any shortcuts with his preparation. To convincingly play a professional volleyball player, he’s been undergoing rigorous, specialized training over the last few days.
