Shah Rukh Khan recently suffered a back injury while shooting for his upcoming film ‘King’, directed by Siddharth Anand. The incident occurred in Mumbai, prompting SRK to seek treatment in the US. He is now recovering in the UK with his family.
According to a source, the injury is minor and he’s doing well, but filming has been paused and will resume in September. His planned trip to Sri Lanka has also been postponed.
This isn’t the first time Shah Rukh Khan has injured his back. During the filming of Boney Kapoor’s ‘Shakti’ (2002), he was diagnosed with a prolapsed disc and underwent surgery in the UK. A disc was inserted in his spine, and he later resumed work with ‘Swades’.
Recalling that period, co-star Daya Shankar Pandey said, “Shah Rukh was in so much pain, he had a physio on set.”
SRK has faced several injuries over the years, including a rib and knee fracture during ‘Darr’, and a worsened knee injury while filming ‘Ra.One’, which also required surgery.
In 2007, Shah Rukh Khan injured his left shoulder during an action scene in ‘Dulha Mil Gaya’, and re-injured it while filming ‘My Name Is Khan’ in 2008. He later underwent shoulder surgery in London in 2013.
His upcoming film ‘King’, directed by Siddharth Anand, will mark the big-screen debut of his daughter Suhana Khan, following her Netflix debut in ‘The Archies’. The film also features Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Anil Kapoor, and Abhay Verma in key roles.
