New Delhi: Putting to rest media speculation, Shah Rukh Khan recently confirmed that he is all set to star in Sujoy Ghosh’s directorial film ‘King.’
He made the news official at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland where he was honoured with the prestigious Pardo Alla Carriera Award for his contribution to cinema.
During a live interaction with the Artistic Director of the Locarno Film Festival, Giona A. Nazzaro, Shah Rukh Khan opened up about the back story of how he signed King. “I finished Jawan and Dunki last year. Now, there’s a certain kind of film I want to do. Maybe its more age centric and its something I have been trying for over 7 years. One day, I mentioned it to Sujoy Ghosh in my office. He said, ‘sir, I have a subject.’”
“Its very simple. I have a desire to do a genre–could be comedy, courtroom drama, or social. I just put it out in the air, I meet a couple of people, some of them have a subject, I hear it, I spend time with them and we just go ahead and make the film,” he went on.
Shah Rukh expressed his gratitude after receiving the Pardo Alla Carriera Award, saying, “Thank you all for welcoming me with such wide arms-wider than the ones I do on screen.”
King will also star Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter, Suhana Khan, marking their first collaboration together. King will feature Shah Rukh Khan as a mentor to Suhana’s character and is going to be in the same zone as the 1994 acclaimed actioner Leon. According to Bollywood Hungama, the film will be made on a budget of Rs 200 crore, The Indian Express.
