It’s official—Bollywood’s iconic jodi is back! Rani Mukerji is reuniting with Shah Rukh Khan after years, and the big moment is happening in ‘King’, the much-hyped action-thriller by Siddharth Anand. Filming starts May 20 in Mumbai, and insiders say the cast is already turning heads with its star power.
After Pathaan, SRK and Siddharth Anand are joining forces again, and this time the cast is even bigger. We’re talking Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Suhana Khan, Jackie Shroff, Arshad Warsi, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Abhay Verma. And now, Rani Mukerji is onboard too—for a special cameo that packs major emotional weight.
Sources reveal Rani plays Suhana Khan’s mother in the film, a role that’s central to the plot. “It’s not just a guest appearance—it’s a key emotional track that triggers the action narrative,” said a source. Rani’s character will reportedly appear in flashbacks that shape Suhana’s story and SRK’s decisions as the plot unfolds.
Though her role spans just five shooting days, Rani didn’t think twice. She instantly said yes when SRK and Siddharth approached her. Their history—Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna—makes this reunion extra special for fans.
SRK plays a dark, stylish assassin in King, taking on Abhishek Bachchan’s character in a high-stakes battle. While the first schedule kicks off in Mumbai, international shoots are lined up in Europe. The film is eyeing a late 2026 theatrical release, somewhere between October and December.
This is shaping up to be one of the biggest Bollywood projects in years. With Rani joining the chaos and Suhana making her big-screen debut, King already feels like a blockbuster in the making.
