Shah Rukh Khan has officially announced his next project, an action-packed film titled King, during his recent appearance at the 77th Locarno Film Festival. This news has stirred excitement among fans and the film industry alike, especially as Khan was also honored with the prestigious Pardo alla Carriera award at the event. The film, directed by Sujoy Ghosh, will mark a significant moment not just for Khan but also for his daughter, Suhana Khan, who will be making her big-screen debut alongside her father.
In a video clip that has been widely shared on social media, Shah Rukh Khan disclosed details about his upcoming venture. He mentioned, “The next film I’m working on is King. I need to prepare physically, lose some weight, and ensure I’m flexible enough to handle the action scenes without injury.” This statement has fueled anticipation among his loyal fans, who have been eagerly awaiting an update on his next cinematic endeavor.
Khan also reflected on how long he has been considering this project. He shared that after completing his work on Jawan and Dunki last year, he felt the urge to explore a new genre. He revealed that the idea for King had been on his mind for about six to seven years. In a conversation with Sujoy Ghosh, Khan casually brought up his interest, to which Ghosh responded with excitement, saying, “Sir, I have a subject.”
Filming for King is set to commence in November, and the project has already generated considerable buzz within the industry. Alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan, the film will feature Abhishek Bachchan in the role of the primary antagonist, with Abhay Verma playing a pivotal character. The combination of a talented cast, an experienced director, and Shah Rukh Khan’s star power has set high expectations for King. This film is poised to be another significant milestone in Khan’s already illustrious career, promising to deliver an action-packed experience that will captivate audiences.
