The upcoming film King, directed by Siddharth Anand and starring Shah Rukh Khan along with his daughter Suhana Khan, is currently being shot. The film has already created a lot of excitement among fans, especially because it marks the first time Shah Rukh Khan will share screen space with his daughter. However, there has been a recent change in the shooting plans.
The next schedule of the film was originally planned to be shot in Dubai. The team had completed all the required permissions and was ready for a week long shoot starting April 9. But due to the ongoing tensions related to the US Iran conflict, the makers decided not to take any risks. Keeping the safety of the cast and crew in mind, they chose to cancel the Dubai schedule.
Instead of shooting abroad, the team has now recreated the required setup in Mumbai. A large and detailed set has been built in a studio in Vile Parle to match the scale that the director had originally planned. According to reports, this change has also given the filmmakers more control over the scenes, especially the action and lighting. The sequence being filmed includes a high speed chase followed by an intense fight scene, which is expected to be one of the highlights of the movie.
The film King was officially announced in November last year on Shah Rukh Khan’s birthday. The title reveal created a lot of buzz, showing the actor in a stylish silver haired look along with a powerful dialogue that caught everyone’s attention. Since then, fans have been eagerly waiting for more updates.
Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures, the film is said to be an action drama with strong emotional elements. Shah Rukh Khan will reportedly play the role of an experienced assassin, while Suhana Khan will be seen as his trainee, learning the skills needed for dangerous missions.
The film also features a big star cast including Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Arshad Warsi, Abhay Verma, and Raghav Juyal.
In an earlier interview, Shah Rukh Khan shared that he had been wanting to do a film like this for many years. He described King as a mix of action and emotion that will connect with a wide audience. With such a strong team and interesting concept, the film is expected to be a big entertainer.
