Almost 10 years after Happy New Year (2014), Abhishek Bachchan is set to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan again. Rumours are rife that Abhi has been cast as the baddie in SRK’s next, tentatively titled King. While details of the thriller, to be helmed by Sujoy Ghosh, are being closely guarded, it is being said that the suave antagonist is unlike the negative roles the actor has essayed so far. Being produced by SRK and his Pathaan (2023) director Siddharth Anand, the movie marks the big-screen debut of Suhana Khan, who forayed into the movies with Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies (2023). She plays the parallel lead with her superstar-father in the film that reportedly underwent a rewrite over the last few months. Pre-production for the action thriller is underway and filming is slated to begin around October. The last time Abhi collaborated with SRK and Sujoy was on their joint production venture, Bob Biswas (2021), which was directed by the latter’s daughter, Diya Ghosh.
