Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has suffered an injury during the shoot of his much-hyped film ‘King’, resulting in a temporary suspension of production. The injury reportedly occurred during a high-stakes action scene at a studio in Mumbai, under the direction of action filmmaker Siddharth Anand.
While the film’s production team has chosen to keep the exact nature of the injury under wraps, a source close to the project shared, “It’s believed to be a muscular injury, possibly due to intense physical strain during rehearsals or takes. There’s no cause for panic, but Shah Rukh has been advised to take at least four weeks off.”
In light of the incident, Khan has flown to the United States for specialized treatment and rest. The decision, insiders say, is a precautionary move to ensure he fully recovers before resuming physically demanding sequences in the film.
Aside from being a major commercial venture, King has also garnered attention due to its personal significance—it marks the acting debut of Suhana Khan, Shah Rukh’s daughter, in a theatrical feature.
The ensemble cast boasts some of Bollywood’s finest, including Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Raghav Juyal.
The film is co-scripted by Anand and acclaimed storyteller Sujoy Ghosh, and aims to blend action with strong emotional undertones.
While Khan’s recovery timeline may push back some production targets, the team is committed to maintaining the film’s vision and quality. Filming is expected to resume once the actor is fully fit, with adjustments being made to accommodate the delay without impacting the overall release schedule.
