According to reports, Aaryan was shooting a physically demanding sequence when he injured his knee. The timing came as a major setback because the production was already nearing completion. The team had only a short portion of the schedule left, including several important action scenes. Following the injury, the shoot was temporarily paused as the actor focused on his recovery.

Aaryan was reportedly admitted to Fortis Raheja Hospital in Mumbai. Initial reports said doctors had advised knee surgery, with the procedure expected to take place soon after the injury. Later reports indicated that the actor underwent surgery in Mumbai and would need a few days of rest before returning to his professional commitments. (NDTV⁠)

The upcoming film is a sports drama directed by Kabir Khan. The project is inspired by the real-life story of young kickboxer Tajamul Islam, adding a demanding physical dimension to Aaryan’s role. The actor has been required to perform or prepare for physically challenging sequences, making the injury particularly significant for the production. (Outlook India⁠)

This is not the first time Aaryan has dealt with an injury while working on an action-heavy project. The actor had previously suffered a knee injury during the filming of Shehzada. His latest accident has once again highlighted the physical risks actors can face while performing demanding scenes on film sets. (Hindustan Times⁠)

Despite the setback, reports suggest that Aaryan is expected to return to work after a short recovery period. Once he is fit, he is reportedly scheduled to continue work on Anurag Basu’s upcoming romantic project. (Hindustan Times⁠)

The injury comes at an important stage in Aaryan’s career. The actor recently won the National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance as Paralympic champion Murlikant Petkar in Kabir Khan’s Chandu Champion. His latest collaboration with the filmmaker is therefore another highly anticipated project.

For now, Aaryan’s health remains the priority. Fans are hoping that the actor makes a complete recovery and returns to the sets only after receiving the necessary medical care and rest.
