A still from ‘King’

With five months to go for its release, is Shah Rukh Khan's ‘King' done with its globe-trotting shoots? Well, almost. Sources have told mid-day that discussions are underway for the action thriller's last overseas shoot that will be held in August. The destination? Either the US or South America.

From what we've heard, a team is currently conducting a recce to finalise the locations for the last leg of director Siddharth Anand's action extravaganza. A source shared, "Only an international schedule is remaining. Nothing has been officially locked yet, but a team is currently in the US, scouting locations and working out the logistics. They will head to certain countries in South America before zeroing in on the locations. If all goes according to the plan, the unit will head there next month before calling it a wrap."

The bulk of the film - which marks Suhana Khan's first big-screen offering - is already complete. The proposed shoot is for a key sequence. The source added, "Shah Rukh and Siddharth wanted an untapped location for the sequence in question."
