Actor Akshay Oberoi confirms being a part of Shah Rukh Khan's King, says, "I’m soaking in every moment"

Actor Akshay Oberoi has officially confirmed that he is part of Shah Rukh Khan’s much-anticipated action spectacle King, directed by Siddharth Anand. The film, which brings Shah Rukh and his daughter Suhana Khan together for the first time on screen, has already become one of the most talked-about Bollywood projects in recent memory. For Akshay, this announcement marks not only a major professional milestone but also his third collaboration with Siddharth Anand after Fighter and their gritty OTT thriller Flesh.

Here’s the thing about Akshay Oberoi’s journey: he has always moved in quiet, deliberate strides. He plays the long game, chooses roles that stretch him, and builds relationships that last. So when Siddharth Anand reached out to him for King, the decision didn’t need a second thought.

In his own words, Akshay captured the mix of awe and gratitude he’s feeling. “It’s a dream come true, my checklist is complete now that I’ve got the chance to work in a King Khan film and share screen space with him. Growing up, Shah Rukh Khan has been one of my biggest inspirations not just as an actor, but as someone who redefined charisma and hard work in Indian cinema. To be a part of a film that stars him feels surreal. I’ve admired his discipline, his energy, and his generosity as a performer for years, and to finally experience that in person is something I’ll always cherish. Also Sid and Mamta are like family to me now in this industry and when Siddharth called me to be part of this magnum opus, I had to jump in and immediately said yes. My association with them is truly special. I’m soaking in every moment and learning as much as I can from him on set.”

King is shaping up to be a high-voltage production that blends scale, style, and emotional stakes. For Akshay, joining a cast led by Shah Rukh Khan isn’t just a career advancement; it’s a personal benchmark that ties his past efforts to his future ambitions. And considering how consistently he has diversified his work across films and streaming, his presence only strengthens the anticipation around a film already carrying enormous expectations.
