Shah Rukh Khan will go under the surgeon’s knife in India to help relieve the pain of his painful shoulder.

The actor was fighting through the pain barrier during Valentine week as he undertook a strenuous promotional tour for the film "Billu".

After flying to London with showbiz pals Lara Dutta and Irrfan Khan for the film’s premier he has a gap in his hectic schedule.

And, after a causing controversy in 2003 for selecting a hospital in London to take care of his back pains, the Bollywood megastar is happy to have this surgery in Mumbai.

"When he got his back surgery done in London there was criticism about his lack of faith in Indian doctors. Shahrukh feels that some of the finest doctors in the world are in Mumbai,” a close friend told a Masala source.

“He sees no need to go to the West for treatment," King Khan's friend told us.

SRK does have the support of his colleagues. Even though the filming of Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan is being delayed the director is standing by his pal. "Films will keep happening. Shah Rukh needs to be well," Johar said.
