Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has reportedly sustained an injury on the sets of his highly anticipated film “King,” leading to a temporary halt in production. While the exact details of the injury remain undisclosed, sources close to the actor indicate it’s a muscular strain. Shah Rukh Khan has travelled to the United States for urgent medical attention and has been advised to take a one-month break from work.
On-Set Mishap: Shah Rukh Khan Injured During “King” Action Sequence
The incident occurred during the filming of intense action sequences at the Golden Tobacco studio in Mumbai. Shah Rukh Khan, known for his dedication to performing high-octane stunts, reportedly met with an accident that resulted in a muscular injury. While the specifics of the injury are being kept under wraps by his team, it’s understood to be a strain rather than anything more severe. This unexpected setback has caused concern among his vast fanbase and the film fraternity.
Following the on-set mishap, Shah Rukh Khan, accompanied by his team, promptly travelled to the United States to seek specialized medical attention. Doctors there have advised the actor to take a full month off from all professional commitments to ensure complete recovery. This period of rest is crucial, especially given the physically demanding nature of his role in “King” and his history of muscular injuries from previous action films.
“King” Shooting Schedule Impacted: Resumption in September/October
The injury has inevitably impacted the production schedule of “King.” All filming planned for July and August has now been suspended. The next schedule for the Siddharth Anand directorial is now expected to commence in September or October, depending on Shah Rukh Khan’s full recovery and medical clearance.
King stands as one of Shah Rukh Khan’s most ambitious ventures following his blockbuster return to the big screen in 2023. Directed by Siddharth Anand, who delivered hits like “Pathaan” and “War,” the film is touted as a high-octane action thriller. It marks a significant moment as it brings Shah Rukh Khan together on the big screen with his daughter, Suhana Khan, in her much-anticipated big-screen debut. The film also reportedly features a star-studded ensemble, including Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, and Jackie Shroff, among others.
Shah Rukh Khan’s History with On-Set Injuries
The actor has a long history of performing demanding stunts, which has resulted in various muscular injuries and surgeries over the years. Sources close to the actor suggest that the current strain could be a result of accumulated stress from years of physically demanding roles, making the advised rest period even more critical for his long-term health.
Though the accident on set may have caused a brief pause, it’s clear that Shah Rukh Khan remains undeterred. With the actor under expert medical supervision and surrounded by a supportive team, King is still on track for a grand release in 2025.
As fans await more updates on both the film and the actor’s recovery, one thing is certain—King is poised to be another blockbuster chapter in the legacy of Shah Rukh Khan.
