"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," said the source, as per reports by Hindustan Times.

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 by his family. A source told the publication that the injury is minor and the actor is recovering well. However, the filming of King is currently halted and will resume in September. Due to the injury, SRK's planned trip to Sri Lanka has also been postponed.
