Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan recently sustained a muscular injury while filming an intense action scene for his upcoming movie King, directed by Siddharth Anand. The incident occurred at the Golden Tobacco Studio in Mumbai, where the actor was performing a high-octane stunt. Though the injury is not considered serious, it has prompted a temporary halt in production. Sources close to the actor revealed that he has flown to the United States for medical attention and is currently recuperating in the UK with his family2.
The film King has generated significant buzz, not only for its action-packed storyline but also for its star-studded ensemble cast. Alongside Shah Rukh Khan, the movie features Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Suhana Khan, who is making her big-screen debut. The film promises a gripping narrative, with SRK reportedly playing the role of an assassin opposite Bachchan’s antagonist.
Due to the injury, all scheduled shoots between July and August at Film City, Golden Tobacco Studio, and YRF Studios have been cancelled. The production team has now rescheduled filming to resume in September or October, depending on Khan’s recovery. This delay may impact the film’s release timeline, which was tentatively set for Gandhi Jayanti in 2026.
Despite the setback, fans remain optimistic and have flooded social media with messages of support and well-wishes for the actor. Industry insiders suggest that once fully recovered, Shah Rukh Khan will return to the sets with renewed energy. Given his history of performing demanding stunts and bouncing back from injuries, expectations remain high for King to deliver a cinematic spectacle worthy of its hype
