Insights on the Film ‘King’

One day, while chatting with Sujoy Ghosh, who has collaborated with us before, he proposed a subject. I’m excited about King. I need to start preparing, lose some weight, and incorporate some stretching.” Reports also indicate that his daughter, Suhana Khan, will co-star in the film.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Sabbatical Reflections
Reflecting on his four-year break from acting,Shah Rukh noted, “At 55, I took a kind of sabbatical. During the pandemic, there was nothing else to do, so I advised everyone to learn Italian cooking and work out. I followed my own advice, built my body, and after four years, people started missing me because I had been so present before that.”
A Glimpse into Shah Rukh Khan’s Daily Routine
