Shah Rukh Khan injured while filming for King, flown to US for treatment, resting in UK: report
According to India Today, the actor travelled to the US for treatment. Now, he has relocated to the UK, where he is recovering. He is accompanied with his family. A source told the publication that the injury is minor and the actor is recovering well. However, the filming of the action thriller is currently halted and will resume in September. Due to the injury, SRK's planned trip to Sri Lanka has also been postponed.
This is the second time when the actor has injured his back. Previously, during the making of Boney Kapoor's 2002 film Shakti, the actor hurt his back. At that time, he was operated in a hospital in the UK. He was diagnosed with prolapsed disc. He eventually opted for an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery which had a disc inserted in his spine. Soon after, he shot for Ashutosh Gowariker's Swades.
Recalling an incident from the set where he dropped him from his bike, his co-star Daya Shankar Panday told Friday Talkies, 'This was the same time when Shah Rukh Khan was suffering from severe back pain. So much that he had a physio on set.'

Previously, the actor incurred a major injury on sets of Yash Chopra's Darr. He fractured his three ribs and left knee. He had also suffered an injury on the sets of Rakesh Roshan's film Koyla. The knee injury worsened during the making of the 2011 film Ra-One. He had to undergo a surgery to ease the pain.
In 2007, he injured his left shoulder during the shooting of an action scene in Dulha Mil Gaya. The same shoulder was injured once again when he was shooting for Karan Johar's 2008 film, My Name Is Khan.
In 2013, he hurt his shoulder badly for which he had to undergo a surgery. He was treated in London.
King, directed by Siddharth Anand, will also feature Shah Rukh Khan's daughter, Suhana Khan. This will mark her big-screen debut after her debut film The Archies on Netflix. Apart from Suhana, the film also stars actors Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Anil Kapoor and Abhay Verma in important roles.

Shah Rukh Khan's most expensive film became India's biggest flop, earned Rs 9 crore, budget was Rs..., name is... Shah Rukh Khan continues to be one of the biggest and influential Indian stars over the last three decades. He has consistently proved his mettle as an actor with numerous box office hits and captivating performances. But like every other superstar, there are some box office bombs amid his superhits. In 1995, Shah Rukh Khan had seven film releases, and among there were massive hits like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Karan Arjun , along with semi hits like Guddu and Ram Jaane . However, it was his final release of the year that proved to be the biggest flop of his career. The film was Mukul Anand's Trimurti , that saw Jacky Shroff and Anil Kapoor too in pivotal roles. Bankrolled by Subhash Ghai, the film was mounted on a budget of Rs 11 crore, the biggest for an Indian film at the time. Moreover, it even surpassed the record of Shanti and Ajooba for being the most expensive Indian film. Released on December 22, 1995, the film had earned Rs 1 crore on day 1 at Indian box office, a record-breaking opening for any Indian film. However, bad reviews and negative word of mouth led to the film's downfall and impacted overall collections. In the end, Trimurti's final earnings were just Rs 9 crore, less than its budget. Despite the massive star power, the film couldn't be saved and was disappeared from theatres in just two weeks. Trimurti was the last release of filmmaker Mukul S Anand, who passed away due to heart attack while filming for Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt-starrer Dus in 1997. Anand is known for his previous hit directorial projects such as Agneepath, Hum, Khuda Gawah, Sultanat, and Insaaf.
