It’s not every day that we hear about Shah Rukh Khan taking a break — and when he does, you know it’s serious. The King of Bollywood, who’s been working non-stop even at 60, recently suffered an injury while shooting an intense action scene for his upcoming film King. And now, he’s been advised to take a month off to recover.
Yep, you read that right — SRK is pressing pause.
Action Scene Gone Wrong
The incident reportedly happened during a shoot at the Golden Tobacco studio in Mumbai. While filming a high-octane sequence, Shah Rukh ended up hurting himself. According to sources close to the actor, the injury isn’t life-threatening, but it’s enough to warrant a trip to the US for medical attention.
Turns out, it’s a muscular injury — and if you’ve followed SRK’s journey over the years, you’ll know this isn’t the first time he’s hurt himself while doing stunts. The man gives his 200% every single time. He’s injured his shoulder, knees, back — and now this.
Taking Time to Heal
After a quick medical check and some immediate care, Shah Rukh reportedly flew to the US along with his team for further treatment. Post-surgery, doctors have advised him to rest for at least a month.
That means all upcoming shooting schedules for King are currently on hold.
A source shared,
“The next schedule of King was planned between July and August at multiple locations including Film City, Golden Tobacco, and YRF Studios. But everything is now postponed. SRK will return once he’s fully recovered — possibly around September or October.”
Work Can Wait, Health Comes First
For someone who has spent over three decades in the film industry and continues to inspire generations, this short break is more than well-deserved. Fans are already flooding social media with wishes for a speedy recovery. After all, SRK is more than just a superstar — he’s the symbol of passion, dedication, and resilience.
It’s also refreshing to see that even the most hardworking stars are prioritizing their health. In a world where hustle culture dominates, taking a pause to heal — both physically and mentally — is something we should all normalize.
What’s Happening With King?
Now, for those wondering about the film itself — King is one of Shah Rukh Khan’s most anticipated upcoming projects. Co-starring his daughter Suhana Khan, the movie is expected to be a gripping action-drama set across India and Europe.
With the shoot delayed, producers have reportedly halted all bookings and prep until further notice. That includes planned schedules in Film City, Golden Tobacco, and abroad. But honestly, fans won’t mind waiting a little longer if it means seeing SRK back in full form.
The SRK We Know Will Bounce Back
If there’s one thing we know about Shah Rukh Khan, it’s this: he always comes back stronger. Whether it’s a box office dip, personal setback, or an injury — the man never stops believing in the comeback. And that’s exactly what makes him such an icon.
So, while he takes this well-earned rest, the rest of us will wait — patiently but excitedly — for his return. Here’s hoping he gets all the care and comfort he needs, and comes back to set recharged and ready to rule the screen again.
Until then, take it easy, King Khan. We’ve got nothing but love and respect.
