Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has reportedly flown to the US for treatment after getting injured on the sets of his highly-anticipated film ‘King.’
According to sources, the actor has suffered a muscle injury while shooting an intense scene at a studio in Mumbai.
SRK has been advised complete rest for at least a month.
“He was shooting in Mumbai when he was injured. The exact details of the injury are being held under wraps at the moment. It is more of a muscular injury and nothing serious. That being said, it is not being taken lightly. Shah Rukh has travelled to the US for medical attention. He has been suggested to take a one-month rest,” a source was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
Following Shah Rukh’s injury, the shooting schedule for July and August has been cancelled, and is expected to resume after September.
“Till then, Shah Rukh has been advised to rest and focus on the recovery. In fact, he has also been asked to get back to the set with caution,” added the source.
While SRK’s manager Pooja Dadlani was not available for confirmation, her recent Instagram Story hints that she is in New York.
Directed by Siddharth Anand, ‘King’ also features Shah Rukh’s daughter Suhana Khan, Saurabh Shukla, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Jackie Shroff, Raghav Juyal and Anil Kapoor.
Recently, Jaideep Ahlawat confirmed that he is on board ‘King’.
“SRK sir kaafi time se soch rahe the iss cheez ko, jaisa mujhe pata laga hai, but Siddharth (Anand) bhai thoda hichak rahe honge ki chota part hai to offer after Jewel Thief. But Khan saab being Khan saab, he said I’ll talk to him. Ab unki baat kaun nakarega (SRK sir had been thinking about this for quite some time, as far as I know. But Siddharth (Anand) bhai was a bit hesitant to offer it since it was a small role after Jewel Thief. But Khan saab being Khan saab, he said, ‘I’ll talk to him.’ Now who could say no to him?),” Jaideep said in an interview with Lallantop.
