About King
Shah Rukh Khan’s film ‘King’ was officially announced by the makers on his 60th birthday (2nd November). The title reveal teaser showed SRK in an all-new avatar – with silver hair and ear accessories, and it left fans intrigued about his character. Hours after the title reveal, King Khan attended a fan meet in Mumbai, during which he shared major details about his character in King. Shah Rukh Khan revealed that his character in the film is ‘very dark,’ and has been thoughtfully written by Siddharth Anand and Sujoy Ghosh.
Sharing details about his character in King, SRK said, “So it’s not to say whether it’s a villain or not. Yes, he is a very dark character, a grey character. And I think it will be very interesting. He is very ruthless. All the lines in it (title reveal video), more or less, reflect that character. So I hope you love it. That doesn’t mean what he is doing is something you should do too.”
Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures, King marks Shah Rukh Khan’s first on-screen collaboration with his daughter Suhana Khan. As per reports, King sees SRK as a seasoned assassin operating within the dark underworld, while Suhana plays his protégé, training for dangerous missions. The ensemble cast includes Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Arshad Warsi, Abhay Verma, and Raghav Juyal.
