Shah Rukh Khan Suffers Muscular Injury on King Sets Shoot Delayed
In an unexpected turn that has left fans concerned, Shah Rukh Khan suffers muscular injury while filming his much-anticipated action movie King. The news sent ripples across the entertainment industry, as the superstar has now flown to the US for medical treatment, pausing the shoot schedule and creating a buzz about the film’s future timeline.
According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Shah Rukh Khan was in the midst of performing a high-octane action sequence on the sets of King when he sustained a muscular injury. The injury, although not considered serious, was significant enough to require urgent medical attention and even a minor surgery.
A close source revealed,
“While exact details of the injury have been kept under wraps, Shah Rukh, along with his team, has travelled to the US for urgent medical attention. It’s nothing serious, but more of a muscular injury, as Shah Rukh over the years has injured multiple muscles of his body while performing stunts.”
Doctors have reportedly advised SRK a complete month-long rest to ensure full recovery. As a result, the film’s shoot has come to a halt, with the next filming schedule postponed to September or October.

The Buzz Around King
King is shaping up to be one of the most awaited Bollywood blockbusters of 2025. What’s making this action-drama even more special is Shah Rukh Khan sharing the screen with his daughter, Suhana Khan, for the first time in a feature film. Suhana, who made her debut with Netflix’s The Archies, is now stepping into mainstream cinema alongside her legendary father.
The ensemble cast includes Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Jackie Shroff, and Abhay Verma. Directed by Pathaan and War fame Siddharth Anand, King is loosely inspired by the Hollywood cult classic Léon: The Professional (1994), promising a gritty narrative with emotional depth and high-powered action.
A Setback, Not a Stop
Filming originally planned for July and August has now been postponed. A source confirmed,
“The next schedule of King will now begin in September/October as SRK has been advised to take time off for recovery. On completely recovering from the injury, he will hit sets again with full force.”
The Black Tape That Sparked Concern
Interestingly, fans had already sensed something was off earlier this year. SRK was seen in Jaipur for an event, where he sported a black tape under his shirt collar. Social media was quick to speculate whether the tape was related to a neck or back injury possibly caused during a stunt rehearsal or shoot.
Raghav Juyal Joins the Action
Another exciting update is the addition of actor and dancer Raghav Juyal to the film. He will play the role of the son of Jackie Shroff’s character, who is set to portray the film’s antagonist.
A source confirmed to IANS,
“Raghav Juyal is in the film King. He will be playing the son of actor Jackie Shroff, who is essaying the role of an antagonist in the upcoming film.”
Raghav recently celebrated his 34th birthday on July 10 while working on a dubbing project. Reflecting on his journey, he said:
“For me, being busy doing what I love is the best kind of celebration. Every year I grow a little more as an artist, and it feels good to be on that journey even today.”
He was last seen in the 2024 action-thriller Yudhra, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Malavika Mohanan.
What Lies Ahead?
While Shah Rukh Khan recovers in the US, the King team is preparing for a strong comeback once he returns. Most major scenes have already been shot, and the remaining segments are planned for October and early next year. The makers are optimistic about wrapping up production smoothly once SRK is back on his feet.
With an ensemble cast, a gripping story, and the debut of the father-daughter duo, King is expected to be one of the biggest cinematic events of the coming year.
