Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has sparked curiosity among fans about his next big-screen venture following Dunki.
The actor, who is gearing up for his action-packed film King alongside his daughter Suhana Khan, had to temporarily slow down shooting after reportedly sustaining an injury during an action sequence.
Returning to his popular Ask SRK session on X after a long hiatus, Khan responded in his trademark witty style when a fan inquired about the release of his next film. “Did some good shoot… starting soon again. Only leg shots, then moving to the upper body… Insha Allah, it will be done fast. @justSidAnand is working hard to finish,” he wrote.
Media reports confirmed that the Pathaan actor was injured while filming an action scene for King.
Last year, at the Locarno Film Festival, Shah Rukh had shared insights into his preparation for King and his collaboration with filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh. He said, “There are certain kinds of films that I want to do, maybe more age-centric, and I want to try something I’ve been thinking about for 6-7 years. I mentioned it to Sujoy one day while we were sitting. He works with us at our office; he’s made some films for us. He says, ‘Sir, I have a subject.’”
On his physical preparation for the film, SRK added, “The next film I am doing is King. I have to start working on it, lose a little weight, and do some stretching.”
While fans await his upcoming release, excitement is also building around his son Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Ba**ds of Bollywood*.
During the same Q&A session, a fan asked when they could expect to see something from Aryan’s series. Shah Rukh playfully replied, “So many people are asking, so I have to tell Netflix… Beta show bana raha hai, Baap sirf wait kar raha hai… @NetflixIndia, Tum kya kar rahe ho??!!” Netflix later confirmed that the first look of Aryan Khan’s show would be unveiled on August 17 at 11 a.m.
Reacting with enthusiasm, Shah Rukh wrote, “Yes, yes, yes. Please tell me the time as well, since Aryan doesn’t tell me anything. Aapke saath toh purana rishta hai… so please tell me and everyone else. Too excited. Here’s to a great First Look. Thanks.”
Produced under Red Chillies Entertainment, Aryan Khan’s project was first announced earlier this year. Fans have been eagerly awaiting updates, though the release date remains under wraps. The series is co-created by Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan, who also share writing credits with Aryan.
