Shah Rukh Khan sustained an injury while filming a demanding action scene for his upcoming movie King, prompting an immediate halt to the shoot. The incident occurred at Golden Tobacco Studio in Mumbai, where a key production phase was underway, impacting the schedule significantly. The actor has since traveled to the United States with his team to seek medical advice and begin his recovery process.
Filming Delayed as Actor Requires Rest and Treatment
Following the injury, all shooting activities planned for July and August at Film City, YRF Studios, and Golden Tobacco Studio were suspended. Medical experts recommended Shah Rukh take a full month off for rest and physiotherapy to prevent any long-term damage. According to sources, the actor suffered a muscular strain, a consequence of his extensive history performing physically challenging roles that have resulted in similar injuries in the past.
Production insiders indicate that although the injury is not severe, it has affected Shah Rukh’s mobility, necessitating immediate attention. The resumption of filming for King is anticipated around September or October, depending on the pace of his recovery. Neither Shah Rukh nor his production team has publicly addressed the situation, but the pause is generally viewed as a measure of caution rather than a serious alarm.
Industry experts expect Shah Rukh Khan, known for his dedication to physically intense performances and his experience with on-set injuries, to regain full strength and return with renewed vigor after the recovery period concludes.
King: A Major Film Featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Daughter Suhana Khan
King is one of the most awaited films this year, marking Shah Rukh Khan’s collaboration again with director Siddharth Anand since their hit film Pathaan. The movie also features Shah Rukh’s daughter, Suhana Khan, making her debut following her appearance in The Archies on a digital platform.

Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment alongside Marflix Pictures, King was planned as a multi-location shoot between Mumbai and international sites. Although the injury-related pause may affect the shooting timeline, no official statements have been made about the release date adjustments. The film‘s narrative details remain largely confidential, but insiders emphasize that King aims to deliver a blend of deep character arcs and visually spectacular action sequences, touted to be among the most intricate in contemporary Indian cinema.
Prioritizing Health Before Continuing King’s Production
With uncertainty surrounding his condition, the priority remains Shah Rukh Khan’s full recovery before returning to the demanding shoot. The production team‘s swift response to the injury underlines their commitment to the actor’s well-being. Although on-set injuries in large-scale films are not uncommon, this cautious approach ensures no undue risks are taken.
Once Shah Rukh regains his fitness, the shooting of King is expected to restart, likely intensifying anticipation for the film’s release. For now, the industry and fans are united in hope for his speedy and complete recovery, with minimal impact on the film’s eventual success and schedule.
