Guess Who’s Back: Shahrukh and Abhishek Team Up for a Villainous Third Round in ‘King’

Ah, dear readers, gather ’round for another juicy scoop straight from the heart of tinsel town. It’s your favorite Bollywood snoop, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, here to spill the beans and sprinkle a little sarcasm on top!

So, Shah Rukh Khan is currently knee-deep in preparations for his upcoming film, King. Oh yes, the man just can’t sit still, can he? Our beloved SRK took a quick break from his London shoot to attend a wedding in India. But wait, there’s more! Rumor has it that Abhishek Bachchan has joined the King cast to play the villain. Yes, you read that right. Junior B is stepping into the dark side. 😈

According to some whispers (that I may or may not have eavesdropped on), Abhishek has officially signed on for the role. While details are hush-hush, insiders claim he’s set to play a sophisticated and complex villain. Oh, the suspense! Seeing SRK and Abhishek go head-to-head? I’m already microwaving my popcorn.

Throwback Alert! SRK and Abhishek have shared screen space before in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and Happy New Year. And let’s not forget Abhishek’s almost cameo in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Creative differences, they said. But hey, he did manage a brief appearance in Om Shanti Om.

Now, hold onto your seats because King is being directed by none other than Sujoy Ghosh, the mastermind behind Kahaani and Kahaani 2. This crime thriller promises to be action-packed and ready by the end of 2025, aiming for a 2026 release. Mark your calendars, people!

And here’s a little cherry on top: Shah Rukh’s daughter, Suhana Khan, is set to make her big-screen debut with this film. Yes, the same Suhana who already made waves with her acting in Netflix’s The Archies. Proud daddy moment! The film is being produced by Red Chillies Production and will be Abhishek’s second collaboration with Sujoy Ghosh, following Bob Biswas.

Oh, and did I mention SRK’s recent wedding hopping? The man flew back to Mumbai just to attend Anant and Radhika’s wedding on July 12th, only to scurry back to London for work commitments. Talk about dedication! He even skipped their reception. Priorities, people. Priorities.

Nisha’s Nutshell
So, what’s the moral of this celebrity filled tale? If you’re Shah Rukh Khan, you can juggle weddings and film shoots like a pro, all while ensuring your daughter gets the perfect launchpad. And if you’re Abhishek Bachchan, playing the bad guy might just be your ticket to stealing the show. In Bollywood, always expect the unexpected and never, ever underestimate the power of a good villain. 😉

Stay tuned, darlings, because you know I’ll be back with more spicy updates. Until then, keep your popcorn ready and your gossip antennas up!
