SRK Confirms Losing Weight For Sujoy Ghosh’s Directorial ‘King’

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.
