An excerpt from his latest blog read, "First, to all that send their concern on my injury, may I express my gratitude and love for your prayers (sic)."
"I progress gradually, it shall take time and what has been prescribed by the doctors is being followed diligently. Rest and strapped chest, all work has stopped and will only begin once the condition improves and the medical gives an assurance (sic)."

'Project K', which has been simultaneously shot in Telugu and Hindi, marks Deepika's Telugu film debut and also her first movie with Prabhas. The makers dropped the first look at Deepika earlier this year on her birthday. The film will hit theatres on January 12, 2024.
