Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan's 'The King' Reportedly Put On Hold

Mumbai, January 31 - Last year, it was reported that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan will be teaming up with his daughter Suhana Khan to headline director Sujoy Ghosh's directorial. The movie was reportedly titled The King and was supposed to go on floors early this year.

Suhana Khan recently made her acting debut with director Zoya Akhtar's "The Archies" which was directly released on Netflix. The film failed to provide a memorable launch pad for Suhana, and it looks like she will have to wait a bit longer to taste the success.



According to the latest reports, SRK has put "The King", in which he was supposed to play an extended role, on hold as it is said that he isn't keen on his daughter being subjected to unfair comparisons to the superstar, especially after "The Archies". SRK himself is looking to play larger-than-life roles after the king of success he has had in the last year in the form of "Pathaan", "Jawan", and "Dunki".

"I don’t think that project is happening, not after The Archies. Suhana needs to find a project as far removed from her father as possible. Earlier, SRK was tempted to get on camera with his daughter ASAP. Now, after The Archies, this historic togetherness is gone on the back burner", reported Zoom.

Shah Rukh Khan, meanwhile, is yet to announce his next film. He was last seen in director Rajkumar Hirani's "Dunki" which was released in December 2023. It is said that he is in talks with a few directors, including Farah Khan. He also has YRF's mega movie "Tiger vs Pathaan" which will reportedly directed by Siddharth Anand.
