Allu Arjun is slated to undergo shoulder surgery today, August 18th, at the St John of God Hospital in Perth, Australia. After the surgery, he will have to rest for at least four weeks. So the 'Badrinath' actor will be out of action for the next month.

Sources in the know say that the actor has been admitted to St John of God Hospital as it has some of the world's best orthopaedic surgeons. In fact, Allu Arjun was operated before too, on the right shoulder, at the same hospital two years ago while doing a tricky movement in the film 'Arya 2'.

The injury has been nagging Allu Arjun ever since. Pain surfaced again while he was shooting for 'Badrinath' recently. "He hurt his shoulder while doing a dance move in 'Badrinath' but overlooked the pain and completed the shooting," a source says.

"The Australian doctors suggested immediate surgery. He decided to take a break and go ahead with the operation," they add.
