Shah Rukh Khan to Play `Don` for His Next Film King Alongside Daughter Suhana Khan
Shah Rukh Khan’s passion project ‘King’ is currently in production. It is rumoured that SRK himself will play the popular character of ‘Don’ in this film, alongside his daughter Suhana taking the lead role. The actor left the original Don franchise, with Ranveer Singh taking his place instead for the third installment of the film.
‘King’ will be co-produced by Siddharth Anand, who also directed Pathaan, and Gauri Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment. It is reported that Shah Rukh Khan is holding no bars against the film’s production, as he has invested a whopping 200 crores for this film. Likewise, Suhana and Shah Rukh are said to be going through intense training, as the film will be a high-intensity action drama. It`s being said that the film is called King because SRK`s character is to be the king of the underworld.

One source revealed Shah Rukh Khan’s entry as Don for the ongoing project. They said, “Shah Rukh Khan is making films for the audience and is well aware about their urge to see him in shades of grey. King is his passion project, and he has been meticulously working on all aspects of the project with Siddharth Anand and Sujoy Ghosh. They have collectively carved a very cool, full of attitude and swag character with shades of grey for SRK in King.”
“While the character designing is already done, Siddharth Anand is presently working on the action blocks with international stunt teams. Sujoy, on the other hand, is getting the dialogue draft ready, whereas SRK is overseeing the creative process and training with Suhana on some new-age action sequences,” the source further added.

Some time ago, it was claimed that the filming for ‘King’ was supposed to start this May. However, due to extended pre-production, it is now being said that the film will start shooting in September instead. It is reported that the shoot is scheduled for a period of five months, with a release in the second half of 2025. It is also rumoured that King is inspired by the Hollywood film ‘Leon: The Professional’. However, a formal announcement about the movie has yet to be made by the director or filmmakers.
