Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan's right shoulder surgery was successful. A second operation on his left shoulder is expected in two months, the Jana Sena Party said.
Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan underwent surgery on his right shoulder in Mumbai on Saturday. The procedure, which lasted three and a half hours, addressed a severe rotator cuff injury and an avulsion fracture, the Jana Sena Party said in a statement on X.
The party called the surgery “highly successful” and said Kalyan had been moved to a recovery room. Doctors led by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala performed the operation. Kalyan is under close medical supervision, the party added.
Kalyan suffered the injuries in 2016, and the condition worsened over years as supporters grabbed his hands during rallies, according to the party. He postponed the surgery until after completing scheduled official commitments.
A second surgery on Kalyan's left shoulder is expected in about two months, the party said.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu wished Kalyan a speedy recovery, writing on X: “I pray for his good health and wish him strength during this time.” Governor Justice (Retd.) S. Abdul Nazeer also offered prayers, saying he hoped the deputy chief minister would “get well soon.”
Kalyan, who also acts in Telugu films, last appeared in Ustaad Bhagat Singh. He is set to appear in the upcoming film PSPK32 and OG 2.
Separately, a 17-year-old fan of Kalyan who suffered from a rare genetic disorder died in Warangal on Wednesday. Kalyan had visited the teenager at his home in June after learning of his wish to meet him.
