The Bollywood film ‘King,’ featuring Shah Rukh Khan and his daughter Suhana Khan in lead roles, has been indefinitely postponed following Shah Rukh Khan’s decision to withdraw from the project.
The storyline of ‘King’ revolved around Shah Rukh Khan’s character protecting an orphan girl played by his daughter Suhana Khan. However, the film, directed by Sujoy Ghosh, has faced an indefinite delay.
A source said that ‘King’ might not see the light of day, particularly in the aftermath of negative criticism directed at Suhana Khan’s debut film, ‘The Archies.’
Shah Rukh Khan opted out of the project due to concerns about his daughter being compared with her co-stars. The source stated, “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 on the back burner.”
Shah Rukh Khan has recently appeared in ‘Pathaan,’ ‘Jawan,’ and ‘Dunki.’ It is reported that he will be working in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s movie ‘Inshallah.’ Alia Bhatt and Salman Khan have also been approached for roles in the film. According to a source, the acclaimed filmmaker is set to make an official announcement in March of this year.
The source disclosed, “There have been several speculations about [Sanjay Leela] Bhansali’s next, including ‘Baiju Bawra’ and another Pan Indian multi-starrer film, but the director has no such plans and has already started working again on ‘Inshallah.’
The filmmaker has already started the initial preparations and is planning to announce it officially by March. Bhansali plans to start shooting for the film as early as June.”
Suhana Khan made her acting debut in Zoya Akhtar’s Netflix film ‘The Archies,’ which faced criticism for its acting, storyline, and being labeled as a “Nepo-Fest.”
