The actor recently said that he has totally recovered from his knee injury and is ready to return to work with "100%" vitality. Sukumaran stated on Instagram that it had been three months since he injured his knee during an action sequence filming for his next Malayalam film, Vilayath Buddha.

Following the injury, the actor described undergoing a "fairly complex" surgery and thanked the medical personnel. "Complete and full recovery is still a long way off," he added, adding that he would have to stick to his physiotherapy and rehabilitation schedule. But getting to where I am in three months required a lot of expertise and devotion from this team. So THANK YOU for your dedication and extremely remarkable passion for your professions!"
