An intense revenge thriller directed by Siddharth Anand. But this time, it's different - and more interesting.

Dhoni & Salman Sailing in Same Boat? Ruining Legacy

Produced by Red Chillies and Marflix, King starts shooting mid 2025 with a 2026 release.

Deepika is back in a powerful extended cameo - not as the love interest but as Suhana Khan's mother and SRK's ex-lover, playing a key emotional trigger in the story. Anirudh is scoring the music, continuing his winning streak with SRK.

Inspired by Léon: The Professional and Bichhoo, King is about a battle hardened assassin (SRK) who forms a bond with a young girl (Suhana) after tragedy strikes.

Deepika's character though brief is central to the emotional core - her past with SRK shapes the revenge arc. Abhishek Bachchan as the lean and lethal villain brings a new kind of menace, while Munjya's Abhay Verma plays a key part.

Originally a tight thriller from Sujoy Ghosh, King has evolved into a high octane, emotionally charged action film under Siddharth Anand.

Expect big visuals, big moments and personal stakes - a combination that worked wonders in War and Pathaan, now with more attitude.

King is not just another SRK actioner - it's layered, emotional and starry.

With Suhana stepping into the spotlight, Deepika adding depth, and Abhishek turning antagonist, this could be a genre-defining thriller - and another crown jewel for the King of Bollywood.

Going by the history, Deepika and SRK have always bolstered the box office with their phenomenal chemistry starting with their first hit Om Shanti Om to Chennai Express, Happy New Year, Pathaan and Jawan.

It remains to be seen if the same intensity and success will be lived by their upcoming collaboration in King.

However, Siddharth Anand has denied these speculations on social media.
