King: Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone Team Up for Action Thriller
Following the massive success of "Pathaan," Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand are teaming up again for the action-packed thriller "King." Produced by Red Chillies and Marflix, the film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including the big-screen debutant Suhana Khan.
"King" stars Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles, with Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Suhana Khan, Arshad Warsi, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Abhay Verma in key roles. And now, we’ve exclusively learned that the cast of "King" has expanded even further.
According to a report in Pinkvilla, Rani Mukerji has joined "King" for a significant extended cameo alongside Shah Rukh Khan. A source told the publication, "Rani Mukerji and Shah Rukh Khan have worked together on films like ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,’ ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham,’ ‘Chalte Chalte,’ and ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna,’ among others, and are now all set for a reunion. Rani Mukerji has been cast to play the part of Suhana Khan’s mother, and it’s a role which acts as a catalyst for the entire action-thriller in the film."
The source further explained that Rani Mukerji’s role is more of an extended cameo, requiring only five days of shooting.
