Pawan Kalyan's Second Shoulder Surgery Delays Sujeeth's OG2 Filming
Pawan Kalyan is a movie actor who hurt his shoulders.
He had one surgery in July to help with an old shoulder injury.
Doctors say he will need another surgery later this year.
He is not having both surgeries at the same time so his shoulders can heal.
Because of this, his new movie OG2 will start filming later than planned.
It was supposed to start in September, but now it will probably start in 2027.
The movie has a lot of action scenes, so he needs to be fully healthy.
Doctors say he needs six to seven months to recover before he can act again.
Pawan also wants the movie's script to be perfect before filming starts.
He hopes this sequel will do even better than the first movie.
Pawan Kalyan is expected to undergo a second shoulder surgery later this year.
The procedure will delay filming of director Sujeeth's sequel OG2, now likely to begin mid-to-late 2027.
OG2 was originally slated to begin filming in September.
Pawan underwent surgery in July for a chronic rotator cuff injury and an avulsion fracture; the second procedure was deferred to avoid operating on both shoulders simultaneously.
Doctors advised a six-to-seven-month rehabilitation period before he can resume shooting, and Pawan wants the screenplay locked before production begins.
