Rani Mukerji reunites with Shah Rukh Khan in King, filming kicks off on May 20

Bollywood fans are in for a nostalgic treat as Rani Mukerji is all set to reunite with Shah Rukh Khan in Siddharth Anand’s upcoming action-thriller King. After the massive success of Pathaan, SRK teams up once again with director Siddharth Anand for this high-octane film, jointly produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures. The film is already creating waves for being Suhana Khan’s big-screen debut and for its powerhouse ensemble cast — and the addition of Rani Mukerji only ups the excitement.

According to inside sources, Rani will play a pivotal role in the film — she portrays the mother of Suhana Khan’s character. While it’s described as an extended cameo, her character plays a critical role in shaping the film’s narrative. “It’s a deeply emotional part that serves as the emotional core of King. Rani’s character becomes the catalyst for the events that unfold, lending weight and depth to the action-packed storyline,” a source revealed.

Rani Mukerji and Shah Rukh Khan share a long-standing cinematic history, having delivered iconic films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. Their on-screen chemistry has always struck a chord with audiences, and their reunion in King is expected to evoke both nostalgia and fresh intrigue. “Rani didn’t take long to say yes. When Siddharth and Shah Rukh approached her with the role, she was immediately on board,” added the source.
