Shah Rukh Khan to Reunite with Music Director Anirudh Ravichander for “King” After “Jawan”: Report
Shah Rukh Khan, the superstar, is all geared up to captivate audiences in an entirely new role! His upcoming film, titled King, is set to be a gritty and action-packed thriller with an intricate twist. King also marks the much-awaited silver screen debut of Suhana Khan, SRK’s daughter. Earlier reports suggested that Khan will be portraying a powerful don with a ‘shades of grey’ personality, reminiscent of his iconic roles in Darr, Anjaam, and Raees. This character, described as “intriguing” and “cool,” meets the audience’s desire to see him in darker roles. Though specifics about Suhana’s character are kept under wraps, there are indications that she will play the role of Khan’s ‘disciple’, hinting at a distinctive mentor-protégé relationship within the film’s perilous world. Following the blockbuster success of Jawan, Shah Rukh Khan will reunite with music director Anirudh Ravichander for King.
Anirudh is said to be crafting a unique score that complements the film’s action-packed narrative. King is a passion project for Khan, where he’s deeply involved in the development alongside co-producer Siddharth Anand and director Sujoy Ghosh. They are shaping a character that embodies both ruthlessness and style. Khan is said to be personally overseeing the creative process, and even participating in action sequence training with his co-star, Suhana Khan. According to a report in Pinkvilla, a source revealed, “King is a one-of-a-kind action thriller that will introduce a new flavor of action to the audience.
Pre-production has been underway for a year, meticulously crafting every aspect from script to action sequences. Siddharth Anand is reportedly bringing in international stunt directors for a global appeal. The action sequences will be a blend of real stunts and VFX enhancements, promising a visually stunning experience. “The pre-production work for King has already begun, and the makers aim to commence filming by August 2024. There is a possibility of an announcement via a proper video asset, and Anirudh is already working on the theme music for the film,” the source added.
