Shah Rukh Khan is travelling to New York for an eye surgery, a source close to the superstar confirmed to NDTV. Other details are awaited. On the health front, earlier this year, Shah Rukh Khan was admitted to a hospital in Ahmedabad due to dehydration and heat stroke during the IPL. After recovering, the actor attended the IPL final, where his team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) won. Meanwhile, the actor is all set to be honoured with the prestigious Pardo alla Carriera at the 77th edition of the Locarno Film Festival, which will take place from 7 to 17 August.
Shah Rukh Khan had a stellar 2023 professionally. He returned with a bang and how. He featured in the smash hit Pathaan last year, alongside Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. The actor then starred in Atlee’s smash hit Jawan with Nayanthara, Sanya Malhotra and Vijay Sethupathi and Deepika Padukone. The film was a big hit. He ended the year with Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki, co-starring with Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal and Boman Irani. The film opened to largely positive reviews.
Shah Rukh Khan will reportedly be seen in a film titled King next. In a viral clip of Shah Rukh Khan congratulating Santosh Sivan after he received the prestigious Pierre Angenieux Excel Lens Award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, fans spotted the script of King on the table next to SRK. The film will reportedly star Abhishek Bachchan as well. Abhishek Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan earlier worked in films like Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and Happy New Year.
