Amidst rumours of actor Nandamuri Balakrishna recovering after undergoing a knee surgery, his PR Team issues a clarification The box-office 'legend', Nandamuri Balakrishna, is coming up with a mass entertainer under the direction of Gopichand Malineni. Apart from that, he is also slated to appear in the upcoming Anil Ravipudi mass-comedy entertainer, which will launch in August. It has been widely reported that the Akhanda actor had gone through a knee surgery and was recovering from the operation. The rumours were fuelled after, presumably, a picture of him and a team of doctors went viral today, and the actor appeared in a knee cast. It was said that Balakrishna had gone through a simple procedure for his knee pains and he is absolutely fine. However, his PR team came in to support him and clarified that he didn't have any kind of surgery, and that he had gone to a hospital in Jubilee Hills for a regular check-up. Earlier this year, Balakrishna had gone through a surgery in his right arm due to an injury that he sustained during the shooting of Gautamiputra Satakarni, but now he's perfectly fine according to the actor's PR team.
