In the wake of Pathaan’s historic success, Shah Rukh Khan is teaming up with director Siddharth Anand and Deepika Padukone once again for another high-octane action drama called King. The movie is the big theatrical launch of Suhana Khan, and hence a hotly anticipated film both for the industry as well as the fans.
The movie has gone into an active shooting schedule, with major action scenes being filmed in Poland, among other European places. As per a Pinkvilla report, Karanvir Malhotra, who was recently seen in Andhera, has also been added to the cast list. A development source spilled the beans and said,
“Karanvir is already shooting for King in Poland. His role has a strong trajectory in the story, and he’s excited to be a part of this franchisee production headlined by Shah Rukh Khan.”
Director Siddharth Anand is working towards filming at actual, unmanipulated locations in Europe to introduce a new visual tone to the movie. The action sequences are being choreographed with the consultation of global stunt teams, which is committing to offer a world-scale spectacle.
Adding to the excitement, Deepika Padukone has posted her joy of working with Shah Rukh Khan for the sixth time. Speaking about their journey that started with Om Shanti Om in 2007, she posted on Instagram:
“The very first lesson he taught me was that the experience of making a film and the people involved matter more than its success. That’s probably why we’re back making our 6th movie together.” She included hashtags #King and #Day1, confirming her involvement.
King has an all-star cast that includes Abhay Verma, Rani Mukerji, Jaideep Ahlawat, Arshad Warsi, and Saurabh Shukla. King will have a big theatrical release in 2026, and the excitement already is reaching new heights.
