The IIFA Awards set the stage for a three-day extravaganza, commencing with Utsavam, an event dedicated to celebrating the southern film industries—Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. On this night, the indomitable Megastar Chiranjeevi will be honored, setting a high note for the festival’s commencement. The second day promises to be just as star-studded, featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Vicky Kaushal, and Karan Johar, who will take center stage to entertain the audience as hosts for the awards night. Fans were notably thrilled to hear that Rekha would also be making a grand return to the stage after a long hiatus.
As for Shah Rukh himself, fans can look forward to his upcoming film projects with eager anticipation. One of the most talked-about movies is ‘King,’ where Shah Rukh will be seen sharing the screen with his daughter, Suhana Khan, and Abhishek Bachchan. There has been considerable buzz around the industry that Suhana’s second film might draw inspiration from the 1994 English-French production ‘Leon: The Professional.
.’ Tentatively titled ‘King,’ the plot reportedly revolves around a professional hitman who ends up becoming a reluctant guardian to a twelve-year-old girl after her family is brutally murdered by a corrupt official. The complex mentor-protégée relationship between the characters adds depth to this revenge drama.
The film is being adapted by Sujoy Ghosh, a director known for his knack for crafting compelling narratives. Shah Rukh Khan is set to play the role originally immortalized by Jean Reno, while Suhana Khan will step into the shoes of Natalie Portman’s iconic character.
Adding to the excitement, Shah Rukh Khan is also slated to share screen space with another Bollywood heavyweight, Salman Khan, in the much-anticipated ‘Tiger vs Pathaan.’ The film will reportedly pit Salman’s character, Tiger, against Shah Rukh’s infamous Pathaan, marking their first substantial collaboration since the 1995 hit ‘Karan Arjun.’ While fans are buzzing with excitement, they still await an official announcement to satiate their curiosity regarding this star-studded venture.
