Louis Koo will not be able to make any action films for 6 months following his surgery. Altogether, he will need a year to fully rehabilitate. (Sina)
Despite having injured his right knee-cap during filming for his upcoming film A Chinese Ghost Story, Louis insists on continuing with work, opting to only drop action scenes.
"(My injury) requires a surgery. The doctors said that I'd need six months to a year to recuperate. Hence, my filming projects need to be re-scheduled. I can't shoot action scenes during that period," he explained.
The film star also revealed that he already has two projects lined up; a comedy film and a sequel to movie Overheard.
Filming for his new film Young Warriors of the Yang Clan will commence in March next year.
