“ King started as an action thriller with an extended cameo from SRK, with Sujoy Ghosh as the director. The initial budget was Rs. 150 crores only, but the script had scope to go bigger and better. When Siddharth Anand came into the picture, he sat down with SRK to make the film on a grand scale.”

The ensemble of KING also has Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Arshad Warsi, Saurabh Shukla, Abhay Verma, Jaideep Ahlawat, Raghav Juyal, Rani Mukerji, and Deepika Padukone.
