At the moment, Shah Rukh is busy shooting for King, where he shares screen space with his daughter, Suhana Khan. The film will be directed by Pathaan director Siddharth Anand. However, it is reportedly facing a delay in its production schedule. Initially planned to commence filming on May 16, 2025, the shoot has now been tentatively pushed to a July–August window, according to recent reports. This delay comes in the wake of the conflict between India and Pakistan. In addition to external factors, the delay is also reportedly tied to creative decisions. Shah Rukh Khan is said to be deeply involved in the development of the script and has requested further refinements to ensure the storyline does justice to his daughter Suhana Khan’s big debut.
