What could have turned fatal, fortunately passed without causing much harm. According to Mumbai Mirror, a large portion of a ceiling collapsed on the Film City sets of Anand L Rai's next starring Shah Rukh Khan injuring two crew members. Turns out SRK too was right there on the set during this mishap but God forbid, he was seated on the other side of the accident spot. Reveals a source in interaction with Mirror, "A prop ladder fell on the makeshift ceiling. The injured crew members were discharged immediately since the injuries were minor. Everybody heaved a sigh of relief that SRK was seated on another side of the set and was unharmed. Shooting was stalled for two days and will resume later this week.

It can be noted how Shah Rukh Khan has a history of injuries while shooting for films. Whether it was by fracturing his ribs and left ankle during Darr( 1993) or undergoing several knee and shoulder surgeries that he hurt during the shooting of Chennai Express, Ra.One...there has been this constant worry about Shah Rukh's health. In fact, his knee condition is so bad right now that even his orthopedic surgeon Dr Desai had issued a statement in December 2016 saying, "We had treated him with painkillers and injections five months ago but following repeated injuries, the pain had worsened. The chondral fissure of the patella in Mr Khan's knee has completely worn out and repairing it is difficult and will take a lot of time.
Thankfully, nothing major happened with SRK on the sets of Aanand L Rai's film; although we feel bad for the two crew members who faced minor injuries. Nevertheless, now that the team is positive to resume shooting, we hear the security has been beefed up to safeguard Shah Rukh's dwarf' look from getting leaked online. Also, leading ladies Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma are expected to join the cast once SRK's wraps up his main portion as the dwarf with the help of VFX.

Anushka Sharma will play the female lead in Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film that is being directed by Tanu Weds Manu Returns' director Aanand L Rai. The film also stars Katrina Kaif.
Shah Rukh will be playing the role of a dwarf in the romantic film about new-age relationships.
The director had earlier said Shah Rukh was his first and only choice to play the lead character.
"I am at a point in life when I want to do something challenging. And, when you get an opportunity to work with actors like these, you don't want to miss it. All three characters have a newness about them. The film is not a romcom or a pure love story. It's about new-age relationships. I can't talk about Katrina's or Anushka's characters. While everyone knows that SRK plays a dwarf, there's a lot more to it than just that.
"As a director, you instinctively know what'll work with an artiste. I needed an actor who is very sure of himself for this role. Also, nobody can romance like him. On his part, he never had any apprehensions about playing a dwarf. The film begins the way I love to start my stories, but the way it ends is a first for me. I'm nervous and excited at the same time
The shooting of the untitled film began last week.
Aanand L Rai's film with Shah Rukh Khan has been in the news ever since its announcement. While Katrina Kaif came on board earlier this year, there was ample speculation surrounding the casting of the other female lead in the film that is being produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Colour Yellow Productions.
The makers have now finally confirmed that Anushka Sharma has been cast in the movie. Anushka, who has earlier worked with Shah Rukh Khan in Jab Tak Hai Jaan, also stars opposite him in Imtiaz Alis next. The two now reunite for Aanand L Rai's ambitious directorial venture, where Shah Rukh Khan essays the role of a dwarf.
Says a source, "There were rumors of several actors having signed or being approached for Aanand L Rai's film but that was pure conjecture by the media. The makers never confirmed or commented on the casting of the female leads before this. Few were aware of the fact that, Shah Rukh Khan had discussed this film with Anushka quite a while ago, while they were shooting for Imtiaz Ali's film and were looking for the right time to make the announcement.
Confirms director Aanand L Rai, I'm thrilled that Anushka Sharma joins Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif for my next. From our very first meeting, she had an instant connect with the character. She seemed very excited about the challenges that this role entails. She's at a more than ready stage in her career to essay a complex role like this. We have been working on her look and prepping for the film. It was only once things fell into place that we wanted to announce Anushka's casting.
