In an unfortunate turn of events, popular actor Vinayakan sustained a significant injury while filming for the highly anticipated movie 'Aadu 3'. The incident occurred during the shooting of an action sequence, forcing an immediate halt to his involvement.
Details of the On-Set Accident
According to reports from News 18, Vinayakan suffered an injury to his shoulder bone. The accident took place while the team was filming a high-octane action scene for the epic fantasy film. The 'Kalamkaval' actor was rushed to a private hospital in Kochi for urgent medical attention without any delay.
Following a thorough examination, the attending physicians have advised Vinayakan to take complete rest for approximately six weeks to ensure proper recovery. This medical directive has directly impacted the film's production timeline. The film's team is now compelled to wait for the actor's recovery before they can plan and proceed with the next schedule of shooting.
Impact on 'Aadu 3' Production Schedule
'Aadu 3' is being directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas and is touted as a large-budget epic fantasy project. With Vinayakan's injury, the makers are expected to make necessary adjustments to their filming plan. However, as of now, no official updates have been provided regarding specific changes to the production schedule.
The film marks the grand reunion of the beloved 'Aadu' team, featuring a stellar cast including Jayasurya, Vijay Babu, Saiju Kurup, Sunny Wayne, and Indrans in pivotal roles. Reports also suggest that the comedy entertainer might incorporate elements of time travel, adding another layer to the franchise.
Shaji Pappan's Much-Awaited Return
Prior to this setback, the production had received a massive boost with the return of Jayasurya as the iconic character Shaji Pappan. After an eight-year hiatus, the actor arrived on set in full character style, sparking excitement among fans.
Director Midhun Manuel Thomas shared a transformation video where Jayasurya, sporting a black shirt, a red-and-black mundu, his signature thick mustache, and slightly greying hair, stepped out of his caravan to a warm welcome from the crew. The director captioned the video, "Welcome to the ride Mr. Paappan..!!"
Fan reactions were instantaneous and euphoric. While many declared "Pappan is timeless," others noted that the "attitude remains the same." One eager fan summed up the anticipation with a simple "Katta waiting," highlighting the high expectations riding on 'Aadu 3'.
On a separate note, Vinayakan was recently seen in the crime drama 'Kalamkaval', which opened to fairly positive reviews from audiences and critics alike.
