Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming action thriller King has faced a major setback as the makers have scrapped the Dubai schedule amid ongoing West Asia tensions. The film, directed by Siddharth Anand, was set to shoot a crucial desert action sequence featuring SRK, Suhana Khan, and Anil Kapoor in Dubai, starting April

The decision to cancel the Dubai shoot was taken due to safety concerns, with the production team prioritizing the cast and crew's well-being over the project's timeline. Despite having secured necessary permissions, the makers chose to err on the side of caution and reimagine the sequence in Mumbai.

The production team has recreated a desert landscape in a Vile Parle studio, ensuring minimal disruption to the film's schedule. This decision showcases the team's commitment to delivering a high-quality film while prioritizing safety.

King is a highly anticipated film, marking Shah Rukh Khan's reunion with director Siddharth Anand after Pathaan. The film boasts an ensemble cast, including Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, and Rani Mukerji, and is expected to release in Xmas 2026.
