Shah Rukh Khan injured News: Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan is reported to have suffered a muscle injury while shooting for intense action scenes for his upcoming film ‘King’ in Mumbai. The actor was shooting at Golden Tobacco Studios when the unfortunate incident took place. According to Bollywood Hungama, Shah Rukh was immediately flown to the US for immediate medical aid. Doctors have advised him to take a month’s break from work to recover completely.
The injury is not serious, but needs attention
Sources close to the matter have confirmed that the injury, though not life-threatening, is linked to a muscle strain caused by strenuous action sequences. Over the years, Shah Rukh has played physically demanding roles, often performing his own stunts. This has led to him suffering from several muscle injuries, which resurfaced during the shooting of ‘King‘.
“It is nothing serious but a muscle injury. Shah Rukh along with his team flew to the US for immediate medical aid,” a source told PTI.
Shooting halted, to resume later this year
Owing to the recent injury, the filming of King has been temporarily paused. Production is now expected to recommence around September or October 2025, allowing Shah Rukh Khan ample time to recover and come back in peak form.
The source further added, “After a full recovery, Shah Rukh will return to the sets with full strength.”
