Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film King has been creating massive buzz ever since its announcement. The film, which also stars Suhana Khan, is expected to be an action-packed entertainer with strong emotional depth. Initially helmed by Sujoy Ghosh as the director, King has now been handed over to Siddharth Anand, the filmmaker behind blockbusters like Pathaan and War.
While details about the movie remain largely under wraps, a fresh update has added to the excitement—reports suggest that a leading Bollywood actress might make a special cameo appearance. The choice is reportedly between Deepika Padukone and Kareena Kapoor Khan.
Deepika or Kareena: Who Will Join SRK in King?
As production gears up for King, sources indicate that Shah Rukh Khan and his team are looking to amplify the film’s star power by bringing in a Bollywood A-lister for a pivotal cameo. According to industry reports, the debate is currently between two of SRK’s most iconic co-stars—Deepika Padukone and Kareena Kapoor Khan.
Both actresses have shared remarkable on-screen chemistry with Shah Rukh in the past. Deepika, who made her Bollywood debut alongside him in Om Shanti Om, has since starred with him in blockbuster films like Chennai Express, Happy New Year, Pathaan, and Jawan. Meanwhile, Kareena has been part of some of SRK’s most memorable films, including Aśoka, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Don, and Ra.One. While the official confirmation is still awaited, fans are eager to see who will ultimately make the cut
Apart from the star-studded lineup, King will also feature Munjya fame Abhay Verma in a key role.
The film is expected to be a high-octane action drama with a strong emotional core. Shah Rukh himself has expressed excitement for the project, revealing that it’s a film he has been wanting to make for nearly a decade.
SRK’s Comments on King
During the Locarno Film Festival, SRK described King as “an action drama” with a unique emotional depth.
“I’ve been wanting to do a film like this for seven, eight years. We just felt Sujoy Ghosh would be the right choice because we wanted it to be very emotionally correct,” he shared.
Later, at an event in Abu Dhabi, he added, “My director, Siddharth Anand, is very strict. He made Pathaan as well. He has asked me not to reveal what we are doing, but I can assure you that it will be entertaining.”
When Will King Release?
As of now, there is no official release date for King. While the film has seen some delays, the excitement surrounding it remains unwavering.
With Shah Rukh Khan leading the charge, Suhana Khan stepping into a major role, and a potential cameo from either Deepika Padukone or Kareena Kapoor Khan, King is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films in Bollywood.
The buzz around King continues to grow, and with each new update, fans are getting more eager to see what SRK has in store.
