Production pause
Filming on halt until Khan recovers
An insider told the portal, "King's team has hit pause on the shoot. Shah Rukh needs to rest it out for weeks before he can face the camera again." "It is an action-heavy film, so the team doesn't want to take a chance with his health." The film marks the 59-year-old superstar's first screen collaboration with his daughter Suhana Khan and is directed by Siddharth Anand.

The film's team is now working on the next schedule of the shoot, which was initially planned to be shot in Mumbai and then internationally.
