While sources close to the film confirmed that ‘King’ will indeed feature a spectacular sword fight sequence, they did not clarify if the viral image was related to that scene. The film is still far from its release, keeping details under wraps.
Siddharth Anand, who previously directed Khan in the blockbuster hit ‘Pathaan’, helms ‘King’. The project marks a significant milestone as it will see Shah Rukh Khan sharing the screen with his daughter, Suhana Khan, for the first time.
The cast also includes a host of other prominent actors such as Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Anil Kapoor, and Abhishek Bachchan in key roles. Industry insiders describe ‘King’ as a mega-budget action thriller. It is expected to deliver international-style fight sequences and high-tech visuals.
An official release date for ‘King’ has not yet been announced.
