Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan underwent a surgical procedure on Saturday following a health complication.

The actor-politician has been unwell for the past few months, said a press release from the Jana Sena Party.

Kalyan experienced health issues during an official meeting on Friday, it added.

“Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena president Pawan Kalyan underwent a surgical procedure on Saturday evening,” it said.

Kalyan had cancelled his official programmes on Friday on the advice of his personal doctors and went to the hospital, where he underwent medical tests and an MRI scan.

Based on the MRI scan results, doctors decided that he required surgery and proceeded with the procedure, the release said.

Doctors have advised the Jana Sena chief to take rest for about a week to 10 days before resuming his official duties.

However, they also cautioned that long-term care would be necessary, noting that complete recovery would take more time, the press release added.
