Shah Rukh Khan, one of Bollywood’s biggest superstars, has reportedly sustained muscular injuries while shooting an intense action sequence for his upcoming film King in Mumbai. The injury occurred at the Golden Tobacco studio during a high-octane stunt, sources reveal, though exact details of how the injury happened remain undisclosed.
According to reports, the actor suffered a back injury, which has prompted doctors to advise him to take a complete break from shooting for at least a month. Following the incident, Shah Rukh Khan flew to the United States to receive medical treatment and is said to be recovering well.
The film’s shooting schedule, originally planned through July and August at locations including Film City, Golden Tobacco, and YRF Studios, has now been put on hold. Filming is expected to resume only around September or October, depending on SRK's recovery.
Fans and industry peers have expressed concern and wished the actor a swift recovery. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee took to social media, tweeting, “Reports regarding my brother Shah Rukh Khan sustaining muscular injuries during shooting make me worried. Wish him speedy recovery.”
