About Shah Rukh Khan's Latest Injury
Last month, several reports surfaced online, indicating that Shah Rukh Khan had suffered an injury on the sets of Siddharth Anand's King. Reports had suggested that even though the injury isn't serious, it has caused a delay in the schedule of King and is now expected to resume shooting in September.
However, a close source told NDTV that Shah Rukh Khan has sustained injuries during various shoots in the past, some of which occasionally flare up again. For treatment and care, he often travels to the US.
The source had further revealed that he left for America in the second week of July and was expected to return by the end of the month.
Earlier, too, there have been reports that he injured his nose during a shoot, but the truth was that it was a minor nasal surgery, not an injury from filming.
About King
King is touted to be an action thriller. It will reunite Shah Rukh Khan with his Pathaan director Siddharth Anand. The movie will see Shah Rukh Khan share screen space with his daughter, Suhana Khan, who made her acting debut with The Archies (2023).

According to several reports making the rounds, King will have several stars being a part of it, such as Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Jackie Shroff, Arshad Warsi and Abhay Verma, to name a few.
