About King
The movie is about a mentor and King, who embark on a perlious journey. It pushes their survival skills to the limit against overwhelming odds and unforgiving environments. King stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Jackie Shroff, Jaideep Ahlawat, Karanvir Malhotra, Raghav Juyal, Anil Kapoor, Suhana Khan, Kashvi Majmundar, Rani Mukerji, Akshay Oberoi, Saurabh Shukla, Abhay Verma and Arshad Warsi. The film has been written by Siddharth Anand and Sujoy Ghosh. King has been directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Siddharth Anand, Gauri Khan, Mamta Anand. The movie has been made on a budget of Rs 350 crore.
At a fan event, Shah Rukh Khan talked about the character and said, “This distinction has been created by people- hero, villain. In my early career, I did ‘Darr’, which, by today’s standards, might be considered villainous or like a stalker. And I was in ‘Don’, I was in ‘Anjaam’, I was in ‘Baazigar’- I played the ‘bad’ guy. I just feel that if we don’t do something interesting in a film, then the hero just comes in, sings two songs, fights, and leave.”
“The character of King is very interesting. Siddharth and Sujoy Ghosh have written it with a lot of love. And it has a lot of evil in it. He’s a killer. He kills people. But for storytelling, it’s very important that heroes like me play different roles: some inspiring, some comic, some romantic. So that’s what I’m trying to do now. I do a big, good film in 1–2 years. Because I also know that making films has become very difficult now. So films should be made carefully so that I don’t let people down,” he added.
