As per a close friend of the actor who spoke to Bombay Times, "Randeep complained of acute pain on Tuesday night, and since he wasn’t feeling better, he left for the hospital yesterday morning. He underwent surgery today and has been kept under observation. Randeep had informed his team on Tuesday that he would need the next two days for himself. However, he didn’t divulge any details. His father, who is a doctor, is with him at the hospital, and he is the best person to talk about Randeep’s health. They will talk about it once they have all the reports. Randeep doesn’t want people to speculate."

The daily also got in touch with a source from the hospital who revealed, "Randeep was admitted in the morning. He underwent a couple of tests, including the COVID-19 test. He tested negative for the latter, which is why they could go ahead with the surgery. It’s best if the family talks about the nature of the pain and subsequent surgery.” Randeep, whose last film on Netflix, Extraction, received rave reviews, has Salman Khan's Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai in the pipeline. We wish Randeep a speedy recovery.
