As per the most recent updates, Abhishek Bachchan from Bollywood has joined the cast of the upcoming movie ‘King’. Produced by Siddharth Anand’s Marflix Pictures and Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment, this film will serve as the theatrical debut for Suhana Khan.

Sujoy Ghosh and Siddharth Anand Unite for ‘King’: A Cinematic Powerhouse in the Making
Director Sujoy Ghosh, known for his innovative approach in Hindi cinema with the movie ‘Kahaani’, did not receive as much appreciation from the Hindi audience for his last film ‘Jaane Jaan’ compared to his previous works like ‘Teen’ and ‘Badla’. However, Sujoy Ghosh’s films are still considered popular in the Hindi film industry. Siddharth Anand and Sujoy Ghosh have been in talks about a father-daughter story for quite some time now, and a movie based on this narrative is in the works. The recent release of ‘Maharaja’ has instilled confidence in the audience’s love for father-daughter stories. Abhishek Bachchan, who is portraying a similar role in his upcoming film, might take on the role of the antagonist in SRK’s ‘King’.
Abhishek Bachchan to play villain in King
Abhishek Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan have collaborated in movies such as ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’ and ‘Happy New Year’. It is rumored that SRK recommended Abhishek for the antagonist role in the movie ‘King’, a suggestion which Abhishek has reportedly accepted. While Abhishek has portrayed anti-hero roles in films like ‘Raavan’ and ‘Guru’, this will mark his first time playing a full-fledged villain on screen. Interestingly, Abhishek also portrayed a murderer in Sujoy’s previous film ‘Bob Biswas’.
Prep for ‘King’ is going on
Preparations for the filming of ‘King’ are currently in full swing in London, with Sujoy and SRK’s team working diligently to finalize all local arrangements. Siddharth Anand, serving as a producer, is also deeply involved in overseeing these preparations. Shah Rukh Khan made a successful return to the big screen last year after a four-year hiatus with Siddharth’s film ‘Pathaan’, and it is rumored that filming for the sequel will commence later this year. The filming for ‘King’ is scheduled to begin in November, with a potential release date set for December of next year.
