Sai Dharam Tej announces 6-month hiatus from acting; says he'll come back stronger

Actor Sai Dharam Tej, who is gearing up for the release of 'Bro', has announced 6-month hiatus from acting after the release of the Samuthirakani directorial, according to an India Today report.

The actor has reportedly decided to take a break from work to return with complete physical fitness so that he can deliver his best performances onscreen.

According to reports, Sai needs to undergo a small surgery and he has assured that he will come back stronger.

'There shouldn’t be any complaints from the audience. I want to give it my all for all my movies. I need to undergo a small surgery, and I will come back stronger. I will probably need around six months to recover completely,' Sai said as quoted by Indian Express.

Sai's decision comes two years after he met with a bike accident in Hyderabad. He was bedridden for months and also went into a coma for a long time.

Later, when Sai returned to work on the sets of 'SDT15', he tweeted, 'Thank you Team #SDT15 for the surprise welcome. Being back on sets again is so exciting & emotional for me and you multiplied it with your love. Thank you babu @IAmVarunTej for the pleasant surprise. Special thanks to #RNarayanaMurthy garu for coming all the way. #NewBeginnings.'
