Bollywood legend Shah Rukh Khan has suffered an injury while shooting action scenes for his upcoming movie King at Mumbai’s Golden Tobacco Studio. The actor, who is admired globally for his dedication and energy even at 60, encountered a muscular injury during the shoot.
Minor Injury, Not Life-Threatening
According to sources close to the production, the injury is not serious. It’s mostly muscular in nature, and Shah Rukh has sustained similar injuries in the past while performing stunts.
After the incident, Khan and his team quickly left for the United States to seek medical attention. He underwent a minor surgery and has now been advised to rest for one month.
‘King’ Film Schedule Postponed
Due to his recovery, the shooting schedule of King has been pushed to September or October. Locations including Film City, Golden Tobacco Studio, and YRF Studios had previously been booked for July and August, but those dates have now been postponed until further notice.
What Is ‘King’ All About?
While not a direct remake, King is said to be inspired by the tone of the 2000 film Bichhoo, which itself was unofficially based on the French classic Léon: The Professional. Shah Rukh Khan will reportedly play a hitman who embarks on a journey of revenge after a tragic event, alongside Suhana Khan, who plays a central role.
Star-Studded Cast & Crew
The film was initially set to be directed by Sujoy Ghosh, but is now helmed by Siddharth Anand, known for his recent blockbuster Pathaan.
The impressive cast includes:
Shah Rukh Khan
Deepika Padukone
Abhishek Bachchan (as the villain)
Suhana Khan
Anil Kapoor

Shooting will take place across India and parts of Europe.
Shah Rukh’s Return Expected Soon
Despite the setback, Shah Rukh Khan is expected to make a full recovery and return to work with the same passion and energy he’s known for. Fans worldwide are wishing him a
speedy recovery and eagerly await his comeback in King.
