Actor Varun Tej Konidela has undergone knee surgery after sustaining an injury while preparing for his upcoming film Bhari. The actor was reportedly training for a volleyball sequence when the incident took place, leading to a fracture that required medical attention.

According to initial information, the injury occurred during practice sessions for the sports based drama. Varun Tej was taken to a reputed hospital, where he underwent a minor surgical procedure. He is currently recovering and remains under medical supervision.

An official update on his condition was shared by his sister, producer Niharika Konidela, through Instagram. In the statement, she provided details about the incident and his recovery. She wrote, "My brother recently sustained a severe knee fracture while practicing volleyball for our upcoming film Bhari. He has successfully undergone surgery, and the procedure went well.

She further added, "We are hopeful that he will regain full strength and health. We truly appreciate all the love, concern, and support during this time (sic)." The message also acknowledged the support coming in from fans and industry colleagues following the news.

Bhari is being developed as a sports focused film and is currently in production. The project has been drawing attention for its theme and the physical preparation involved, with Varun Tej reportedly undergoing training for his role.

The film is backed by Niharika Konidela, who has been expanding her work as a producer in recent years. She made her debut with Committee Kurrollu and later backed Raakaasaa, which received a mixed response at the box office.

Bhari now marks her collaboration with Varun Tej in a full fledged project. The film is expected to release during the Sankranthi festive period, though an official date is yet to be announced.
