It is being produced under SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment and Siddharth Anand’s Marflix. The much-anticipated film, helmed by Sujoy Ghosh will hit the theatres in 2025.
Besides ‘King’, Shah Rukh Khan also has ‘Pathaan 2’ in the pipeline, which is expected to go on the floors by the end of 2024 and will later also feature in a ‘Tiger Vs Pathaan’ film. On the other hand, Suhana entered the world of acting with Zoya Akhtar’s ‘The Archies’ and will be marking her big-screen debut with ‘King’.
