Kareena Kapoor Khan is set to reunite with Shah Rukh Khan on screen after 15 years, with the actress making a special appearance in the superstar’s much-awaited
action entertainer King. The two actors will come together for a special song titled Daddy Cool, which is being mounted on a grand scale and is expected to be one of the major highlights of the film. According to Pinkvilla, Kareena will be shooting for the song with Shah Rukh Khan in South Africa later this month. The actress has reportedly allotted around five days for the shoot, with the makers planning an elaborate schedule for the highly anticipated collaboration. Daddy Cool is said to bring Shah Rukh and Kareena together in a never-before-seen avatar. While the two stars have shared screen space in popular films including Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Don, their reunion in King is expected to offer audiences a very different presentation. The song is being composed by Sachin-Jigar and will reportedly feature a collaboration between an Indian artist and an international artiste, the report added. While the makers have chosen to keep the identity of the international singer under wraps, the collaboration is being touted as one of the biggest musical highlights of the year. The scale of Daddy Cool appears to be in keeping with the larger ambition of King, which has been generating considerable anticipation ever since the project was announced. With Shah Rukh Khan at the centre of the action entertainer and Kareena joining him for a special appearance, the song could add another major talking point to the film. Interestingly, the track is also expected to present Shah Rukh in a new avatar. Details about his look and the overall concept are being kept tightly under wraps, with the makers reportedly keen to preserve the surprise until the song is unveiled. The excitement around King is likely to rise further in the coming weeks, with the makers planning to release a new asset around November 2, coinciding with Shah Rukh Khan’s birthday. Directed and co-written by Siddharth Anand, King is produced by Gauri Khan, Siddharth Anand and Mamta Anand under Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures. The film boasts an ensemble cast featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Rani Mukerji, Jaideep Ahlawat, Arshad Warsi and Raghav Juyal. With Kareena Kapoor Khan now joining the project for Daddy Cool, King has added another star-powered element to what is already shaping up to be one of the most awaited Hindi films.
