Shah Rukh Khan is on a 2-month break before resuming King's Europe schedule with Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan?
Shah Rukh Khan to head to Europe for a high-octane King schedule
According to reports, the team plans to resume production in September 2025. In addition to the action, Siddharth Aanand is also planning a visually stunning chase sequence, which will be a major highlight of the film. Shah Rukh Khan will also be joined by Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan in this high-octane sequence.
A source revealed to Mid-Day, 'Locations are currently being locked. The shortlisted cities include Budapest, Prague, and possibly Berlin, where sleek chase sequences will unfold. Siddharth wants these sequences to be stunning, and has apparently told his team to scout for some never-before-seen locales.'
Though the primary unit is on break, a few indoor crowd scenes will be filmed over the next few weeks in Mumbai. 'These will be quick, smaller-unit shoots aimed at filling plot gaps without requiring the full crew's return,' the source added.
Shah Rukh Khan oversees every aspect of King for a grand theatrical experience
As Pinkvilla earlier reported, Shah Rukh Khan is playing an assassin in the movie, who will also mentor Suhana Khan's character. While on the other hand, Abhishek Bachchan is playing the main antagonist. Bankrolled by Red Chillies Entertainment on a lavish budget, Shah Rukh Khan is overseeing every aspect of King to make it a grand spectacle for the fans.
Besides the already mentioned names, King features a stellar cast that includes Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Jaideep Ahlawat, Arshad Warsi, Abhay Verma, Raghav Juyal, Saurabh Shukla, and others.
For the uninitiated, the highly anticipated slick action drama commenced filming on May 21 at Mumbai's Mehboob Studios. A major jail action sequence was filmed in this sequence. King targets a grand 2026 release.

Did Emmanuel Macron go too far? Hand-kiss to Princess Kate sparks royal protocol debate
French President Emmanuel Macron began his state visit to the United Kingdom with a charming gesture that sparked debate among royal watchers. At the beginning of French President Emmanuel Macron's state visit, Kate Middleton and Prince William had the diplomatic privilege of welcoming him and his wife, Brigitte, to the United Kingdom. The French president used a traditional greeting to welcome the Princess of Wales. French President Emmanuel Macron's hand-kiss with Princess Kate sparked debate about royal etiquette, as per a report. ALSO READ: Big Brother Season 27 is here — meet the wild new cast stirring up drama already Is the hand-kiss inappropriate or outdated? The gesture, while uncommon in public royal settings, is rooted in French tradition and was even used by King Charles to greet France's First Lady, Brigitte Macron. Experts say it did not violate any rules. The gesture was unquestionably endearing and distinctively French, but it did not violate any official regulations. Live Events How do royals typically greet foreign dignitaries? According to the royal family's official website, meeting royals is not subject to any rigid rules of behavior, only customary etiquette is advised, as per a report by People. "This is a small curtsy for women, and a neck bow (from the head only) for men. According to the website, some people would rather just shake hands the traditional way. Macron's tender, intimate hand kiss was reminiscent of King Charles's own hand gestures. Indeed, the same gesture was used by the monarch to greet the first lady. Receiving a kiss on the hand, particularly in public, is a little unusual for Kate. Despite being a customary sign of respect and admiration, hand-kissing is rarely seen in contemporary royal encounters. In many European courts, the custom has mostly been replaced by cheek kisses or handshakes. In the past, King Charles has also addressed the first lady of France with the affectionate gesture. Following a service honoring the 80th anniversary of the D-Day Landings in Normandy, France, in June 2024, the 76-year-old King kissed Brigitte's hand as they bid farewell. Before the formal welcome, King Charles and Queen Camilla welcomed the couple to Windsor on July 8, kissing Brigitte's hand once more. As the Macrons' inward state visit from France got underway, the 43-year-old Prince and Princess of Wales welcomed them at RAF Northolt on behalf of King Charles. FAQs Did President Macron breach royal protocol by kissing Princess Kate's hand? No. While uncommon, hand-kissing is not against royal protocol; it is more about personal preference and tradition than strict rules. Has King Charles made this gesture before? Yes, King Charles has kissed Brigitte Macron's hand at previous formal greetings, including the D-Day commemoration and the most recent Windsor welcome.
