Actor Shah Rukh Khan has tested positive for COVID-19, sources told CNN-News 18.

While more details are awaited on Shah Rukh Khan's condition, it comes days after the announcement of his next film, Jawan, which Atlee will direct. He shared a brief look that showed his bruised face, which was wrapped in a bandage. The film is slated to hit theaters in June 2023.

It is a special RC project that has been delayed due to the inevitable troubles around us. But some good men worked hard and made it. I want to thank @_GauravVerma, the co-producer, @Atlee_dir, and his Jawans for making this dream come true. Well... Good Boss...! pic.twitter.com/7lhfMiE6hD

Speaking of the film, Shah Rukh Khan said, “Jawan is a universal story that spans languages and regions and can be enjoyed by everyone. Credit goes to Atlee for creating this unique film which was a fantastic experience for me too as I love action films. The teaser is just the tip of the iceberg and gives a glimpse of what's to come."

Meanwhile, it was reported earlier today that fellow actress Katrina Kaif has also tested positive for Covid but has since recovered.

In May, Prithviraj actor Akshay Kumar also tested positive for Covid, and on Saturday news that Kartik Aaryan and Aditya Roy Kapur were also infected made headlines.

Maharashtra has seen a massive spike in Covid cases and the BMC has asked Mumbai to be on alert. The municipality also ordered that film studios in the upscale K-West neighborhood not host studio parties.
