Abhishek Bachchan Takes on the Antagonist Role
According to a report by PeepingMoon, Abhishek Bachchan has been cast as the antagonist opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Details about his character are under wraps, but sources reveal that it will be a sophisticated and complex villain, a stark contrast to the roles Abhishek has typically portrayed. This “out-and-out negative role” is expected to showcase his acting prowess in a fresh light.
Readers may recall that Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter, Suhana Khan, will be making her acting debut in King. While specific details about her character are yet to be revealed, we know that she will play a pivotal role alongside her father.
A Collaboration Steeped in History
While this is the first time SRK and Abhishek will be on opposing sides of the screen, they have previously collaborated on films like Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and Happy New Year. For Abhishek, this also marks his second project with Sujoy Ghosh (following Bob Biswas, which he produced) and his first with Siddharth Anand.
Anticipation Builds for a 2025 Release
Currently in pre-production, King is expected to begin filming in October-November 2024. The makers are aiming for a late 2025 or early 2026 release. The film is being produced under Siddharth Anand’s Marflix banner in association with Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment.
