Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was recently injured while shooting for his upcoming film King and has since been moved to the United States for treatment.

According to Indian media, the incident took place on the film’s set in Mumbai during an intense action sequence, where Khan hurt his back. While the injury has not been reported to be serious, doctors have reportedly advised him to rest for at least a month to ensure a full recovery.

The production team has temporarily halted the filming of the movie. Industry insiders say this delay could increase the film’s overall budget, but the producers have decided to prioritise Shah Rukh Khan’s health over deadlines.

The scene was a high-energy stunt which Shah Rukh chose to perform himself. A close source was quoted as saying, "Shah Rukh Khan has been injured several times during the shoot, but he always returns to work quickly after recovery."

In 2017, he injured his neck while shooting for Zero and underwent treatment in the US.

Filming for King began last year, with the film aiming for an early 2026 release. Originally set to be directed by story writer Sujoy Ghosh, the film is now being helmed by Pathaan director Siddharth Anand.

Adding to the excitement, King will feature Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter, Suhana Khan, in a story said to explore a strong father-daughter bond. Meanwhile, Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan is also set to play a key role, adding to the film’s star power.
