About King<\/p>\n

Helmed by Siddharth Anand, King is an action thriller starring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role, along with Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Arshad Warsi, Jaideep Ahlawat, Raghav Juyal and Saurabh Shukla in key roles. The film reportedly also stars Anil Kapoor and Rani Mukerji, although they are yet to confirm their involvement. Backed by Red Chillies Entertainment, the film marks Suhana\u2019s big-screen debut and is scheduled to release in cinemas on 24 December.<\/p>\n

King also marks Siddharth Anand and Shah Rukh Khan\u2019s second collaboration after Pathaan, which became a huge commercial success, collecting \u20b91,050 crore worldwide.<\/p>\n

Earlier, during a fan meet, Shah Rukh spoke about King and said, \u201cThe character of King is very interesting. Siddharth and Sujoy Ghosh have written it with a lot of love. And it has a lot of evil in it. He\u2019s a killer. He kills people. But for storytelling, it\u2019s very important that heroes like me play different roles: some inspiring, some comic, some romantic. So that\u2019s what I\u2019m trying to do now. I do one big film every one or two years because I also know that making films has become very difficult now. So films should be made carefully, so that I don\u2019t let people down.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is all set to cast his magic on the big screen once again with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":483431,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[8139,64,63,4057,134,7145,344,7146,8159],"class_list":{"0":"post-483430","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-abhishek-bachchan","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-bollywood","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-king","14":"tag-movies","15":"tag-shah-rukh-khan","16":"tag-siddharth-anand"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=483430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483430\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/483431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=483430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=483430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=483430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
