More about Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan’s film King
Pinkvilla was the first to break the news about this collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan. King is directed by Sujoy Ghosh and produced by Gauri Khan with Siddharth Anand.
Earlier, in February 2024, Pinkvilla also shed light on Suhana’s prep work for the film. A source close to development reported, “The training is happening at Mannat, and she is accompanied by her father, Shah Rukh Khan, too, in certain practice sessions. Trainers of international repute are coming together to train Suhana and SRK, as King will explore a slightly raw form of action.”
Later, we exclusively revealed details about King Khan’s character in the film. A source disclosed that Shah Rukh is aware of his audience’s desire to see him play a character with gray shades.
The source added, “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 gray for SRK in King.”
