Indian Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan was admitted to hospital in Mumbai on Monday for an operation on his shoulder, which he injured during filming last year, a hospital spokeswoman said.

The 43-year-old actor -- popularly known as King Khan -- was hurt while acting in the movie "Dulha Mil Gaya" (I Found my Groom), in December.

"Shah Rukh is set to undergo surgery later today," a spokeswoman for the Breach Candy hospital told AFP.

The star is expected to be discharged by the end of the week, but could be out of action for more than a month.

Shah Rukh flew back from London on Sunday night after promoting his latest film "Billu."
