About King
At the SRK Day event on November 2, Shah Rukh hinted at King being a pan-world film. He told his fans, “Agli picture main pan-world hi advertise karunga. Like you said, I am taking India to places which was impossible. My fans are the people who have taken me where I thought it wasn’t possible. The idea will always be this – Hum koi film aisi hi banaayen, language is no longer a barrier now with OTT.”
He further added, “We have to be more original, write better stories for the youngsters, and stories that touch your heart. We all are learning and as soon as that happens, I am going to release the film there. Hopefully, the next one is like that, I am trying my best. I have even started titling my films in English, so people in America can understand what it means. So, take the message back home from India – King is coming!”
King, directed by Sujoy Ghosh and produced by Siddharth Anand’s Marflix, also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Suhana Khan and Abhay Verma. The cast of the action thriller is yet to be announced.
