He wanted to get the surgery done only after wrapping up the shooting for 'Chennai Express'.

While shooting for Rohit Shetty's 'Chennai Express', the 47-year-old actor often suffered from pang of pain in his shoulder, but he refused to use body doubles during sequences.

Shah Rukh wrapped up 'Chennai Express' on May 25.

This is actor's eighth surgery, last one being in 2010 when he injured himself while shooting for his home production, 'RA.One'.

After recuperating, Shah Rukh will start promoting 'Chennai Express' and begin work on Farah Khan's film 'Happy New Year'.
