Shah Rukh Khan To Team Up With 'Pushpa' Director Sukumar?

Mumbai, March 17 - Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up to start shooting for director Siddharth Anand's action drama King in the next couple of months. It is the actor's first film since Dunki (2023) and his reunion with Anand after their mega-blockbuster Pathaan.

After King, Shah Rukh Khan will start Pathaan 2 by the end of this year or early 2026. Now, according to the latest reports, the Badshah of Bollywood is in talks with Pushpa director Sukumar for a rural political action drama film and the actor has reportedly shown interest in it.



SRK will reportedly play the anti-hero in the movie that promises to show him in a raw, rustic, and desi avatar that blends his mass appeal with his global superstar image. The movie will also explore social issues like caste and class oppression.

While Jawan Star has shown his keenness to collaborate with Sukumar for the movie, it is not gonna start anytime soon. SRK has, at least, 2 films to shoot over the next couple of years and if he doesn't sign any other film, then it will be Sukumar's directorial sometime in 2027. The director, meanwhile, will next reunite with superstar Ram Charan. He will also direct Pushpa 3, but after SRK's film (if finalizes).
