Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has suffered a back injury while shooting for his upcoming action-thriller King, temporarily halting production on the much-anticipated film. The actor reportedly sustained a muscular strain during an intense stunt sequence at Mumbai’s Golden Tobacco studio, which required urgent medical attention.
According to media reports, Shah Rukh Khan was initially taken to the United States for treatment and has now relocated to the UK to continue recovery. While the injury is not considered serious, doctors have advised a month-long rest. The actor is currently accompanied by his family.
King Shoot Delayed, Next Schedule in September
Following the incident, the filming schedule for King has been put on hold. All shoots planned for July and August have been suspended, with production expected to resume in September or October, depending on Khan’s recovery. The team is reportedly on a scheduled break during this period.
Long History of On-Set Injuries
This is not the first time Shah Rukh Khan has been injured on set. In 2002, while working on Shakti, the actor was diagnosed with a prolapsed disc and underwent spine surgery in the UK. He also fractured his ribs and left knee during the shoot of Darr, and later aggravated his knee injury during Ra.One.
In 2007 and again in 2008, SRK injured his left shoulder during the filming of Dulha Mil Gaya and My Name Is Khan. He underwent another surgery in 2013 for a serious shoulder injury.
