Shah Rukh Khan’s busy filming schedule after the second wave hit a roadblock when his son Aryan Khan was arrested in a narcotics case. At the time, SRK was filming for its actor Pathan. The film stopped because the actor remained in Mumbai and Pathan’s Spanish program was canceled.
Now, according to a latest report published in India Today, Shah Rukh is preparing to return to the Pathan sets. The Spanish program is expected to take place in the near future, and the actor is preparing in the comfort of his own home. The report found that SRK was staying on top of his fitness level and maintaining a strict diet.
A source revealed: “SRK dieted and trained in Mannat to get back in shape for Pathan. The next program also requires some action scenes and for that he pumped iron. ” Deepika Padukone is also expected to join Kingh Khan on Pathan’s next schedule.
Sources had previously exclusively revealed that SRK’s diet and training failed when her son Aryan was arrested. “It was a difficult time for Shah Rukh Khan and the family, and in this phase the superstar was completely involved in the legal aspects by giving up all his professional commitments. His diet and fitness regimen had also been altered during those 30-40 days, resulting in muscle loss as well. Now that things are finally improving, Shah Rukh has returned to work on his physique as Pathan and Atlee’s next character in a larger-than-life avatar, ”the source earlier.
Shah Rukh Khan has been keeping a low profile since his son, Aryan Khan's arrest and bail in the drugs-on-cruise case. However, the actor made his first digital appearance at an event for Hyundai India.
On Wednesday, the brand announced its new brand ambassadors. In pictures shared on social media, the actor was seen congratulating them via a video message. Shah Rukh was seen wearing a round-neck T-shirt along with a jacket and his hair was tied back. It isn't clear if the video was a live conversation or if it was a pre-recorded message.
The pictures have already caught fans' attention with many welcoming the actor back into the spotlight. “Finally sir ke dharshan ho hee gaya (Finally, we got a glimpse of Shah Rukh),” a fan tweeted. “Waiting to see him on the big screen,” another fan said.
Recently, Tamil actor Rajinikanth also revealed he received birthday greetings from Shah Rukh. The actor, who celebrated his birthday on Sunday, shared a note of gratitude and named a bunch of stars who sent him their wishes. One of them was Shah Rukh.
Shah Rukh has been laying low since Aryan's legal case. The 24-year-old was arrested after a raid on a Goa-bound cruise ship and spent close to a month in Mumbai's Arthur Road jail. While Shah Rukh hasn't yet commented on the arrest, the actor visited Aryan in jail, making his first public appearance since the incident. The actor has been MIA on social media as well, with his last Twitter post dating back to September.
