Bollywood’s King Khan Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up to showcase his versatility once again, as reports surface of his role as a raw and ruthless don in the upcoming action-thriller titled “King.” In what promises to be a departure from his previous characters, Khan is slated to embody the persona of a fierce and formidable underworld figure. The film is expected to delve into the complexities of power dynamics and the gritty underworld landscape.
A source revealed to Pinkvilla, “Shah Rukh Khan is making films for the audience and is well aware of their urge to see him in shades of grey. King is his passion project and he has been meticulously working on all aspects of the project with Siddharth Anand and Sujoy Ghosh. They have collectively carved a very cool, full of attitude and swag character with shades of grey for SRK in King.”
Khan is said to have had a great deal of involvement in the development of King, which is his passion project. He’s collaborating closely with directors Sujoy Ghosh and Siddharth Anand to create a figure that is merciless and cool at the same time. The source also said, “While the character designing is already done, Siddharth Anand is presently working on the action blocks with international stunt teams. Sujoy, on the other hand, is getting the dialogue draft ready, whereas SRK is overseeing the creative process and training with Suhana on some new-age action sequences.”
King is scheduled to shoot over the course of five months, with a big screen debut in the second half of 2025.
