Suhana Khan and Abhay Verma have reportedly commenced shooting for the highly anticipated film "King," which stars Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role. The action-thriller, directed by Siddharth Anand, has been generating significant buzz, especially since it marks Suhana Khan's debut alongside her father.

Filming for "King" reportedly began on May 18, 2025, in Mumbai. The film is being produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Productions, with a planned release in cinemas towards the end of 2026. The movie is touted to be an action-packed thriller, with Shah Rukh Khan in a raw and rugged avatar, which will be a treat for his fans.

The film has a stellar cast that includes Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone (in an extended cameo), Abhishek Bachchan (as the antagonist), and Abhay Verma in a pivotal role. Veteran actors like Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Arshad Warsi and Rani Mukerji are also reportedly part of the project, making it a star-studded affair.

Abhay Verma, who garnered appreciation for his performance in "Munjya," has been roped in to play a key role. Details about his character are currently under wraps, but sources suggest that he will be a catalyst in the action-packed thriller.

The plot of "King" revolves around a mentor-protegee relationship between Shah Rukh Khan's character, a formidable don in the criminal underworld, and Suhana Khan's character, whom he guides and protects. The film will explore their bond as they face a common adversary, played by Abhishek Bachchan. The storyline promises a blend of action, drama, and emotional depth.

Deepika Padukone is expected to make an extended cameo appearance, shooting for approximately 10 to 12 days in October. Initially, there were reports of her playing Suhana's mother, but director Siddharth Anand dismissed these rumors. Other reports suggested that Kareena Kapoor Khan and Katrina Kaif were also considered for the role that Deepika will play.

With action scenes planned across various locations in India and Europe, and music by Sachin-Jigar and Anirudh, "King" is shaping up to be a massive cinematic spectacle. The film's release is expected between October and December 2026, and fans are eagerly awaiting its arrival.
