Saurabh Shukla Reveals Massive Cast of Shah Rukh Khan’s King: “Almost 70% of the Industry Is In It”
The excitement around King just got even bigger. Actor Saurabh Shukla has revealed that the film’s cast is so huge that it almost feels like “70 per cent of the industry” is part of it.
Speaking about the upcoming action spectacle led by Shah Rukh Khan, Shukla joked that every name big enough in the industry seems to be in the film, hinting at one of the most star-packed lineups in recent Bollywood history.
A Film Loaded With Stars
Directed by blockbuster filmmaker Siddharth Anand, the film reportedly brings together a massive ensemble including Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Jackie Shroff, Jaideep Ahlawat, Saurbh Shukla, Raghav Juyal and several other well-known actors. With such a lineup, King is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious ensemble films in modern Hindi cinema.

Shukla also shared that working with Shah Rukh Khan has been a great experience. According to him, SRK’s charm, energy and personality bring a unique vibe on set, making the shoot both exciting and enjoyable. The veteran actor also hinted that his role in the film will be memorable, though he kept the details under wraps.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Powerful Run Continues
The buzz around King is already massive, especially after Shah Rukh Khan’s historic comeback in recent years. After delivering record-breaking blockbusters like Pathaan and Jawan, followed by the emotional drama Dunki (not working in BO) the superstar proved once again why he remains one of the biggest box office forces in the world. Because of that streak, expectations from King are sky-high.
A Big Moment for Suhana Khan
The film will also mark the big-screen theatrical debut of Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan after her OTT debut in The Archies. What makes it even more special is that she will share the screen with her father for the first time, something fans have been eagerly waiting to see.
What the KING Is About
Reports suggest King is a high-octane action thriller where Shah Rukh Khan plays a powerful, rugged character possibly a don-like figure navigating a dangerous world of crime and power. The story is expected to mix intense action, emotional drama and multiple timelines, with SRK’s character mentoring Suhana’s role through a series of dangerous challenges. An earlier teaser showing Shah Rukh Khan in a silver-haired, fierce look has already created huge excitement online.
Release and Hype
With a massive cast, a big-scale action story and Shah Rukh Khan at the center, the buzz around King is already explosive. The film is currently scheduled to hit theatres on December 24, 2026, aiming for a huge Christmas box-office storm.
If the hype continues at this level, King could easily become one of the most talked-about Bollywood releases of the decade.
