Actor Suriya sustained a minor head injury while shooting for his upcoming film with director Karthik Subbaraj. Production for the Tamil film, tentatively titled Suriya 44, has been temporarily halted after the incident. 

Suriya sustains injury

Once news of Suriya’s injury leaked on Friday, fans panicked for their favourite star. Some wondered if it was something serious, while others wondered why there wasn’t a statement made from the production house or Karthik yet. In the evening, producer Rajasekhar Pandian reassured fans of the actor’s well-being on X (formerly Twitter). He wrote, “Dear #AnbaanaFans, It was a minor injury. Pls don’t worry, Suriya Anna is perfectly fine with all your love and prayers.”

Fans were happy to know it wasn’t anything series with one of them writing, “Thanks for the clarification Anna.” Another commented, “Take care my Dear Anna.” One worried fan wrote, “Thank god.” One even suggested that Karthik should use a body double while filming risky scenes, even if it’s unknown how the actor sustained the injury. Suriya was shooting for the second schedule of the action drama in Ooty when he got injured.
