After wrapping up his birthday celebrations, SRK is diving straight back into work. Industry reports confirm he will resume shooting for KING at Yash Raj Studios in Andheri on November 5, starting with intense action scenes.

Sources say there’s no slow start to this schedule. The stunt team has been rehearsing for three weeks to perfect a demanding action block that will highlight SRK as a full-scale action hero once again.

The shoot, lasting around 15-20 days, focuses on a massive chase and combat sequence blending different fight styles. It begins with hand-to-hand combat and transitions into tactical gun choreography, pushing SRK’s physical endurance to the limit.

To pull this off, the team is using a custom stunt rig designed for these scenes. Despite turning 60, SRK plans to perform several key moments himself, proving his commitment to challenging roles and action-heavy storytelling.

Directed by Siddharth Anand, KING also stars Suhana Khan in her first film alongside her father, marking a special collaboration. Reports hint that Abhishek Bachchan has a key role, adding to the excitement around this high-budget thriller.

Slated for a 2026 release, KING features Shah Rukh Khan as an assassin an entirely new shade in his filmography, promising fans an intense cinematic experience that blends emotion, action, and legacy.
