SCOOP: Shah Rukh Khans King shoot pushed to June; Siddharth Anand reworking on script to ensure a larger-than-life spectacle!
After having a great run at the box office in 2023, Shah Rukh Khan is all set to return to the big screen in 2026 with King. While the film was initially supposed to be directed by Sujoy Ghosh, SRK and team eventually got him replaced with Siddharth Anand. And now Bollywood Hungama has an exclusive scoop.
According to our reliable sources, Siddharth Anand is giving final touches to the script of King, keeping his sensibilities of direction in mind. Siddharth Anand and Shah Rukh Khan have made a film like Pathaan and the idea is to up the standards set by YRF Spy Universe film with King. Hence, Sid is getting all the things right on paper before taking the film on floors, a source told Bollywood Hungama.
The source further shared that owing to the prolonged pre-production work, King will now go on floors in June instead of March. The film will be shot in India and Europe starting June 2025. Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix are committed to providing a larger-than-life cinematic experience to the audience and bring the film to the big screen by the end of 2026, the source told us further.
King also stars Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan in key roles.

Shoot of Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana starrer King to begin in May 2025
There have been conflicting reports on the shooting schedule of Siddharth Anand’s King starring Shah Rukh Khan in the eponymous role and his daughter Suhana Khan as the vulnerable girl he protects from a high-risk situation.
However, when this writer touched base with Siddharth Anand, he very clearly told that the shooting of King begins in May 2025.
Contrary to reports, the shooting has not been postponed. The schedules are all in place from months ago, as per the time-spaces provided by Khan and the director.
While much is not known about King, this writer could reveal that that Shah Rukh and Suhana do not play father and daughter. Contrarily, they play an assassin and potential victim whom he protects from harm. After the first schedule in May, King will be about 30 percent done.
