In a recent video that has taken the internet by storm, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was spotted with the script of his potential next film, ‘King,’ on a side table. The unexpected revelation has sent waves of excitement through his fan base, further fuelling speculation about his upcoming projects.
Shah Rukh Khan has been quite engaged with the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 as of late. However, in a recent announcement, he mentioned that he would start shooting for his next film around July-August. The newly surfaced video now seems to hint at the film he was referring to. In the clip, Shah Rukh Khan was seen lauding the celebrated cinematographer and ‘Ashoka’ director Santosh Sivan. Sivan had recently received the prestigious Pierre Angenieux ExcelLens in Cinematography award at the 77th Cannes Film Festival.
This video was not only a moment of accolade for Santosh Sivan but also a source of fresh excitement for Shah Rukh Khan’s fans. With their keen eyes, fans noticed the script titled ‘King’ casually placed on a side table next to the actor. This seemingly innocuous detail has now led many to believe that SRK is gearing up for a new film project, potentially featuring his daughter Suhana Khan.
As the video quickly went viral, fan reactions were immediate and fervent. One enthusiastic fan commented, “King script ready hai bhai (fireworks emojis),” while another inquisitively asked, “Anyone Notice King Scriptd Book?” Another excited follower chimed in, “Ready For King (crown and fire emojis).”
The buzz doesn’t stop there. A tweet from the Shah Rukh Khan Warriors FAN Club, sharing the video, read, “Latest: Shah Rukh Khan congratulates Santosh Sivan on being honored with the prestigious Pierre Angenieux Excel Lens Award at Cannes ♥️😎#ShahRukhKhan.” This tweet further amplified the excitement surrounding the potential new film ‘King.’
In a parallel development, Suhana Khan is making her mark in the Bollywood industry.
. She recently debuted in Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti’s film ‘The Archies,’ which also stars Khushi Kapoor, Agastya Nanda, and others. Following her debut, rumors have been circulating about Suhana’s next project, which is speculated to be none other than ‘King,’ directed by Sujoy Ghosh and co-starring her father, Shah Rukh Khan.
On the professional front, Shah Rukh Khan made a triumphant return to cinemas with Siddharth Anand’s ‘Pathaan’ in January 2023. This film marked his first success after a four-year hiatus that followed a string of less successful releases, including ‘Zero’ and ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal.’ Building on this success, Shah Rukh appeared again in September with ‘Jawan,’ embracing an action-packed persona.
In December, Shah Rukh Khan graced the screens with ‘Dunki.’ Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, ‘Dunki’ addressed pressing immigration issues and performed reasonably well at the box office. Despite these recent successes, the superstar has yet to formally announce his next project. However, strong reports suggest he will be seen sharing screen space with Salman Khan in the highly anticipated film ‘Tiger vs Pathaan.’ This upcoming release will reportedly feature the characters Tiger (played by Salman Khan) and Pathaan (played by Shah Rukh Khan) in a climactic face-off. Official announcements regarding ‘Tiger vs Pathaan’ remain eagerly awaited.
Returning to the viral video, Shah Rukh Khan’s praise for Santosh Sivan highlighted the mutual respect and admiration among industry stalwarts. This moment of recognition not only celebrated Sivan’s contributions to the field of cinematography but also served as a subtle teaser of what fans can expect next from the Bollywood icon.
As the IPL season progresses and the speculated film projects build anticipation, one thing is certain: Shah Rukh Khan continues to captivate and enthrall audiences, whether on-screen or off. As fans eagerly await official confirmations and more details, the excitement surrounding ‘King’ and Shah Rukh Khan’s future endeavors remains at an all-time high.
Stay tuned as this story develops, and be prepared for more thrilling announcements from the King of Bollywood himself.
