The highly anticipated thriller, which marks the first-ever big-screen collaboration between SRK and his daughter Suhana Khan, has been strictly under wraps. However, during a recent podcast interview, Saurabh Shukla (who plays a pivotal role in the film) accidentally dropped a massive bomb regarding the film's mind-boggling scale.
Here is a breakdown of Saurabh Shukla's massive reveal and the latest updates from the sets of King.
The Big Reveal: "70 Percent of Bollywood" 🤯
The Interview: While promoting his directorial web series Jab Khuli Kitaab on the Hindi Rush podcast, Saurabh was asked about his experience working on the Siddharth Anand directorial.
The Scale: Highlighting the sheer magnitude of the project, Saurabh dropped a massive statement:
"Not just me, King has 70 per cent of the film industry. Every name that is big enough, they are all there."
The SRK Experience: The veteran actor couldn't stop gushing about his leading man, calling SRK an incredibly "charismatic" and amazing person. He promised fans that whatever screen time he shares with Shah Rukh in the film will be "beautiful and memorable."
Just How Big is the Cast of 'King'? 🌟
If Saurabh's "70%" claim sounds like an exaggeration, just look at the names that are already confirmed or heavily rumored to be part of this colossal ensemble:
The Leads: Shah Rukh Khan & Suhana Khan.
The Romantic Lead: Deepika Padukone (Reuniting with SRK and Siddharth Anand after Pathaan).
The Villains & Heavyweights: Abhishek Bachchan (reportedly playing the main antagonist), Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Arshad Warsi, Jaideep Ahlawat, Jackie Shroff, Raghav Juyal, and Abhay Verma.
Latest Set Updates: A Massive Dussehra Climax 🎬
Adding fuel to the fire, recent reports suggest that SRK and Suhana have just wrapped up an intense, eight-day action schedule in Mumbai.
The Scene: The sequence is reportedly set against the backdrop of a grand Vijayadashami (Dussehra) procession.
The Action: Hundreds of background dancers and massive crowds were used, and insiders report that Suhana Khan performed several heavy-duty action stunts herself under SRK's mentorship in the scene.
SantaBanta Verdict:
Director Siddharth Anand is clearly building his own Avengers-level event film for Bollywood! With Shah Rukh Khan playing a rugged, silver-haired, underworld "Don-like" mentor and literally half of the industry joining him on screen, King is shaping up to be the ultimate cinematic event. Mark your calendars for December 24, 2026—this Christmas is going to be explosive!
