Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Fans are concerned about actor Prabhas' health after orthopaedic surgeon KJ Reddy from Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad, posted a picture with him on Instagram. Reddy, a knee, hip, and sports injury expert with over 35 years of experience, wrote about the actor's 'private sacrifices' and said he is entrusted with taking care of Prabhas' health. Hindustan Times reports that Prabhas has suffered multiple injuries during the filming of Baahubali, Saaho, Salaar, and Fauzi, and has reportedly undergone two knee surgeries. Fans flooded the comments section with worries about his leg injury and urged him to rest. Greatandhra.com focuses on Dr. Reddy's sudden social media fame, noting his past pictures with other stars like Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan. Prabhas is currently shooting for Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit and Hanu Raghavapuri's Fauzi, with Kalki 2898 AD sequel also lined up.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Hindustan Times leads with fan concern and Prabhas' injury history, framing the doctor's post as a health alarm. Greatandhra.com reframes the same image as a celebrity-doctor profile, downplaying any medical worry. The measured read: the post itself is a polite professional tribute with no clinical details, so the alarm is driven by fan inference, not the doctor. What to watch: whether Prabhas or his team issues any health update.
