Shah Rukh Khan has spoken about reuniting with Deepika Padukone and Rani Mukerji in the upcoming film King. During an #AskSRK session on X, a fan asked how it felt to share the screen with the two actors again. SRK replied, "The best ever. It's lovely always to work with my best friends."
The Times of India reports that the film is directed by Siddharth Anand and releases on December 24, 2026. SRK also revealed that singer Arijit Singh is giving final touches to the music. Bollywood Hungama notes that the reunion with Rani Mukerji is notable as they last worked together on Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna in 2006. The film's ensemble cast also includes Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Anil Kapoor.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Coverage across the three outlets is uniform straight reporting, with no discernible slant. Each source leads with SRK's fan interaction and his quote, and all note the professional history with both actresses. The Times of India adds the music update and release date, while Bollywood Hungama emphasises the rarity of the Rani reunion after 18 years. The balanced reading is that the story is a promotional update: the concrete next step is the film's Christmas 2026 release, which will test box-office pull for an ensemble action thriller.
