Director Siddharth Anand Addresses Shah Rukh Khan's 'King' Rumours

Mumbai, April 8 - Director Siddharth Anand has seemingly addressed rumours surrounding superstar Shah Rukh Khan's hugely-awaited King. The project has been making tremendous noise on social media for the last few days due to various reasons and now, the filmmaker has responded to those rumours.

Recently, a report emerged that Deepika Padukone will reunite with Anand and SRK to play an extended cameo role. While the filmmaker didn't mention the report, he seemingly denied the casting of Deepika by calling it fake on Twitter/X.



There was another rumour that the shooting of King would be delayed by a couple of months, and again, Anand debunked it and called it false. He then mentioned May 2025 in a separate post on X, reportedly confirming the commencement of filming as reported previously.

Meanwhile, a new report has emerged that not Deepika Padukone, but Sonam Bajwa has been cast to play a key role. The official confirmation, however, is yet to be made. Sonam is already doing two of the most-waited Bollywood films, Housefull 5 and Baaghi 4.

King will feature Shah Rukh Khan in the title role alongside his daughter Suhana Khan in her big screen debut, Abhishek Bachchan and Abhay Verma in prominent roles.
