Sources say after a weekend of birthday celebrations, Shah Rukh Khan to resume King shoot on November 5 for an ambitious action sequence. An insider reveals that the stunt unit has been rehearsing for nearly three weeks for this leg
Shah Rukh Khan sports a distinct look in ‘King’
When King Khan turns 60, a celebration is certainly in order. Expectedly, the weekend was all about celebrating the icon that is Shah Rukh Khan — the superstar hosted an intimate party on Saturday night at his Alibaug property to bring in his birthday, followed by a special fan meet on November 2 evening, and a quiet night with close friends. But it looks like he isn’t taking too long a breather after the birthday madness. Sources have told mid-day that the actor will jump back into King’s shoot at Yash Raj Studios in Andheri on November 5.
Director Siddharth Anand already gave fans a peek into the action-driven world of King on November 2 as he unveiled the first look of the Shah Rukh, Suhana Khan, and Abhishek Bachchan-starrer. Action will be the keyword in the upcoming 15-20 day schedule as well. An insider reveals that the stunt unit has been rehearsing for nearly three weeks for this leg that will focus on a high-complexity action block. “It’s a hybrid chase-combat sequence that begins with hand-to-hand combat stitched with tactical gun choreography. The set-piece will also have wire-assist jumps and close-quarter grappling. The team is working with a custom-designed stunt rig and Shah Rukh will perform several key beats himself,” says the source.
King, which marks the superstar’s first on-screen collaboration with daughter Suhana and sees him as an assassin of sorts, went on floors in June 2025. By the year-end, Anand — who is reuniting with Shah Rukh after their blockbuster Pathaan (2023) — intends to wrap up most of the film’s dramatic portions. “After that, some primary action sequences as well as songs will be left,” adds the source.
