Bollywood Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan is currently busy working on his highly anticipated, stylish gangster action drama titled King, directed by Siddharth Anand (known for hit action blockbusters like War and Pathaan). The film holds special significance as it marks the silver screen debut of Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter, Suhana Khan.
According to a fresh report by Mid-Day, an exciting new update about the cast has surfaced: Rani Mukerji and Abhishek Bachchan could be paired opposite each other in the movie.
Key Highlights of the Update:
- Reunion After Nearly Two Decades: If this comes to fruition, Rani Mukerji and Abhishek Bachchan will share the screen again for the first time in nearly 20 years. The iconic duo previously starred together in major hits and popular films, including:
- Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai (2001)
- Yuva (2004)
- Bunty Aur Babli (2005)
- Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006)
- Laaga Chunari Mein Daag (2007)
- Abhishek Bachchan’s Role: Abhishek Bachchan confirmed his involvement in the film, having recently adopted a transformed physical look for his role. He is reportedly playing the main antagonist (villain) opposite Shah Rukh Khan.
- Double Reunion: Beyond her pairing with Abhishek, Rani Mukerji’s presence in King also marks a massive 20-year reunion with Shah Rukh Khan himself, with whom she last worked in Karan Johar’s Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006). During a recent
#AskSRKsession on X (formerly Twitter), Shah Rukh Khan affectionately expressed his love for Rani, stating he loves her “with or without films.”
