Intensive action schedule ahead

An insider has revealed to Mid Day that the stunt unit has been practising for about three weeks for a high-complexity action block and that the next fifteen to twenty days' worth of schedule would be devoted to action scenes.

According to an insider, the choreography is a combination of hand-to-hand fighting and tactical gun moves, and it starts with a hybrid chase-combat scenario. Additionally, the set piece will feature close-quarter grappling and wire-assisted jumps. The source added, "The team is working with a custom-designed stunt rig, and Shah Rukh will perform several key beats himself."

Significance of King

Production on King began in June 2025 and is a landmark collaboration because it features Suhana, the daughter of Shah Rukh, in an onscreen partnership for the first time. Reportedly, the actor plays a character in the film who is similar to an assassin.

If everything proceeds as planned, Anand is expected to complete the film's dramatic scenes by the end of the year. According to the source, adhering to the existing timeline would necessitate further filming. The insider continued by stating that a few main action sequences and songs will remain after completing the dramatic scenes.
