SRK delays surgery for Billu Barber

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has put his surgery on hold for his soon to release home production Billu Barber. The actor will now go for his shoulder surgery after the film's release but before that King Khan will have to undergo intensive physiotherapy.

The injury happened while SRK was shooting a special appearance for the film Dulha Mil Gaya. He was advised surgery but hoped physiotherapy would do the trick but now it looks like there's no avoiding the scalpel.

Sources close to Shah Rukh say that while he would prefer to have the operation here but to duck the public and papparazzi, the superstar may have to opt for a surgery abroad.

"Surgeons in Los Angeles have suggested that he should go for a surgery now. It is better that he gets it done soon," says Dr Ali Irani, Physiotherapist.

"I'll go in after Billu releases if it does well I'll go in for surgery happy and if it is not nice then I'll have somewhere to hide but I think people will like the film," said Shah Rukh Khan.

It is during the schedule of Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan where his injury worsened but even here, the injury did not get in the way of his fans or his film commitments, proving yet again that nothing keeps the king down for long.
