Actor Rashmika Mandanna has been described as seriously injured around the hip area while working on the film Maaysa.
The injury was said to have occurred during a jump in a dance rehearsal in Hyderabad.
A separate account linked the incident to fight or dance scenes being filmed for Ranabali and Maaysa.
The injury was described as a complete tear of muscle or tendon tissue near the point where the waist and hip meet.
Doctors advised Mandanna to take at least six weeks of complete rest before returning to filming.
Doctors also recommended a rehabilitation programme to support healing and recovery of strength.
The medical assessment was described as an injury more commonly associated with athletes undertaking intense physical training.
The precise sequence of events and the full effect on Mandanna’s production schedule remain unclear.
