Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film, 'King', has been generating significant buzz, particularly regarding its female lead. Although the movie hasn't been officially confirmed, SRK has revealed its title at an event. The film is reportedly set to feature his daughter Suhana Khan, along with Abhishek Bachchan and Abhay Verma. Recently, director Siddharth Anand suggested that 'King' might receive an official announcement in May 2025.

Interaction with Fans

In response to a netizen's comment, "Siddharth Anand reads everything I guess," the director humorously confirmed, "Yup, he does."

Speculation Around Suhana’s Birthday Announcement

It's possible that Shah Rukh and Siddharth might officially announce 'King' on Suhana's birthday. As Suhana turns 25 on May 22 this year, it wouldn't be surprising if SRK chooses this special day to reveal more about his upcoming film, which features his daughter in a significant role.

Casting Rumours and Siddharth’s Response

Reports surfaced on Monday suggesting that Deepika will star opposite Shah Rukh in the upcoming film 'King', playing the role of Suhana's mother. However, this news did not sit well with many netizens, who criticized the casting, calling Deepika a misfit for the role. Amidst the backlash, Siddharth Anand, the film’s director, took to X and posted a simple “False,” seemingly denying the reports. While he did not elaborate further, fans began speculating whether his comment was aimed at dismissing the rumors of Deepika’s involvement in the project.

False.
