Shah Rukh Khan’s much-anticipated film King, directed by Siddharth Anand, continues to generate excitement as more details emerge about its cast and production.
Recent rumors suggested that Deepika Padukone would appear in an extended cameo, sparking speculation among fans. However, director Siddharth Anand has firmly dismissed these claims, calling them “false” on social media.
Sources close to the project confirm that Padukone will not be part of King. Her on-screen pairing with Shah Rukh Khan is being saved exclusively for Pathaan 2, putting an end to any confusion about her involvement in this upcoming action thriller.
In a new twist, Punjabi cinema sensation Sonam Bajwa is set to join the cast in a notable role. Known for her growing presence in Bollywood with projects like Housefull 5 and Baaghi 4, Bajwa is poised to make her biggest Bollywood splash yet alongside Shah Rukh Khan.
While the details of her character remain under wraps, it’s been confirmed that Bajwa will have an extended cameo in King, adding an intriguing new layer to the film’s ensemble.
The movie, described as a high-octane action thriller, is scheduled to begin filming in June 2025, with primary shooting taking place in India. The cast also includes Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan in key roles alongside Khan and Bajwa, promising a powerhouse lineup for what’s shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films of the year.
