All about Shah Rukh Khan's injury
Shah Rukh had suffered an injury while shooting his upcoming film, King, a couple of weeks ago. HT reported the actor was shooting an intense sequence for the Siddharth Anand directorial at a studio in Mumbai when he injured himself. “He was shooting in Mumbai when he was injured. The exact details of the injury are being held under wraps at the moment. It is more of a muscular injury and nothing serious. That being said, it is not being taken lightly. Shah Rukh has travelled to the US for medical attention. He has been suggested to take a one-month rest,” a source told us.
Due to the injury, King's planned shoot schedule for July and August has been cancelled. Shooting will resume later once Shah Rukh has healed. Directed by Siddharth Anand, King marks Shah Rukh's first on-screen collaboration with daughter, Suhana Khan.
