Big injury on King set! Raghav Juyal hurts same leg post-surgery, still powers through shoot with Shah Rukh Khan
While filming a stunt for Shah Rukh Khan¡¯s film King, actor Raghav Juyal injured his leg ¡ª the same one that earlier underwent surgery. Despite being in pain, he refused to stop shooting. A medical team treated him on set and prescribed medication.
Raghav Juyal, who has been cast in a significant role in Shah Rukh Khan¡¯s upcoming film King, reportedly suffered a leg injury while shooting an action sequence. The shoot for the high-budget film had only begun a few days earlier when the incident occurred.
According to reports, the injury happened during a physically challenging stunt that pushed the Kill actor¡¯s endurance. Despite the setback, Juyal did not stop shooting, continuing with the schedule while managing the pain.
Previous knee surgery complicates the injury
As per a report by Bollywood Hungama, the injury affected the same leg in which Raghav had previously undergone knee surgery. After the stunt went wrong, an on-call medical team was immediately sent in to examine and treat him.
A source told the publication, ¡°He was in considerable pain. The doctors have prescribed a heavy dosage of medication to manage it.¡± Despite the doctor¡¯s intervention and the discomfort, Juyal carried on with his work commitments.
Actor continues shoot despite discomfort
The source also noted Raghav¡¯s refusal to pause the shoot despite the circumstances. ¡°Raghav¡¯s resilience is remarkable. Having had knee surgery in the past, most actors would have stepped back. But not him ¡ª whether it was Kill or now King, he¡¯s constantly pushing boundaries,¡± the source added.
His choice to remain on set and complete his scenes demonstrates his professional commitment, especially on a project as large in scale as King.
