Bollywood’s biggest superstar, Shah Rukh Khan, is officially back on set—this time not just as a leading man, but as a father sharing screen space with his daughter, Suhana Khan, in their much-anticipated film King. Directed by Sujoy Ghosh, the film is already making waves as one of 2026’s hottest titles, and not just for its star-studded cast—the emotional weight of Suhana’s theatrical debut opposite her father has film lovers buzzing with excitement.
Recently leaked behind-the-scenes images added fuel to the fire, revealing a rugged-looking SRK in a casual ensemble, grey beard and hat included. Fans quickly drew comparisons to his Jawan look, but there’s something grittier here—less slick, more grounded. Suhana, dressed in a brown tank top and beige cargo pants, looked ready for action, hinting at a physically demanding role that goes beyond just being the daughter of a superstar.
Adding another layer to the film’s texture is Abhishek Bachchan, reportedly playing the antagonist. His appearance, too—greying hair and a serious expression—has people speculating that King could lean into darker, psychological thriller territory. The buzz only got bigger when Deepika Padukone confirmed her return alongside SRK, sharing a photo of their hands clasped, and reflecting on the lessons she learned from him since Om Shanti Om. With King, the duo will share the screen for the sixth time, and fans couldn’t be more thrilled.
The ensemble cast rounds out like a dream: Rani Mukerji, Jaideep Ahlawat, Abhay Verma, Arshad Warsi, and Saurabh Shukla all bring serious dramatic heft. With Ghosh at the helm, known for his knack for twists (Kahaani, anyone?), King seems poised to offer more than just father-daughter nostalgia—it looks like a tightly wound thriller laced with emotion, action, and depth.
And while Shah Rukh commands the big screen once again, he’s also celebrating a big win at home. His son, Aryan Khan, has made a successful directorial debut with The Ba**ds of Bollywood, currently streaming on Netflix. The show has garnered positive reviews for its edgy, inside-Hollywood vibe, signaling that the next generation of Khans is already making waves in every corner of entertainment.
