SRK postpones surgery for Billu Barber

Shah Rukh Khan has decided to postpone his shoulder surgery till the release of Billu Barber. The actor who had flown back to India mid way of his filming schedule for My Name is Khan in Los Angeles to treat his aggravated shoulder, will now only go under the knife once his film releases.

“Shah Rukh wanted to go all out to promote his film Billu Barber. The film has him in a small role but it is a Red Chillies production at the end of the day. So SRK made sure he had enough time to promote his film. Also with Irrfan being busy for the Oscars, SRK has taken it upon to ensure that his film is promoted well,” informs a source close to the actor.

When contacted, SRK’s spokesperson said, “He will go for surgery after the film releases. But the date has not been finalized.”

Speaking about his upcoming surgery at a promotional do for Tag Heuer in Delhi recently, Khan said that he would be going for surgery after wrapping up some commitments.

“My treatment has been delayed because of a few important commitments, one being the TAG Heuer event today, and another is ‘Billu Barber’. Once I’m done with my commitments to the film, I’ll get myself admitted to a hospital for the surgery,” said the actor at the event.

Khan said while he was managing, life was a bit restricted. “I can’t hug as hard as I could. But Vijender (Singh who was also at the event) has promised to train me once I come out of surgery and make me fit again,” signed off Khan with a smile.

SRK’s Billu Barber that also stars Irrfan Pathan and Lara Dutta will release on February 13th.
