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.'
