Kabir Khan has dismissed reports that Kartik Aaryan's knee injury would delay shooting of their upcoming sports drama. The filmmaker told Hindustan Times: 'All this is wrong news. There's no change in our schedule, we are on track.' He added that the shoot was already complete when the injury occurred.
Kartik Aaryan sustained the knee injury on August 18 while filming an action sequence. He underwent successful surgery at Fortis Raheja Hospital in Mahim and is recovering at home. His spokesperson confirmed he will return to set soon.
The actor shared pictures of his injured knee on social media, joking that director Kabir Khan told him to 'break a leg'. Kabir responded with laughter emojis, writing: 'Brother, no need to listen to everything as seriously.' The film marks Kartik's debut as a producer.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets report the same facts neutrally: Kartik Aaryan had knee surgery, and Kabir Khan says the schedule is unchanged. Bollywood Hungama leads with the director's schedule clarification, while Hindustan Times leads with the actor's social media jokes and the director's amused reaction. Neither outlet questions the official account, and neither reports any delay risk. The uniform coverage suggests this is a straightforward celebrity health update with no conflict.
The next milestone is Kartik Aaryan's return to set after recovery.
