After the massive success of 'Pathaan' and 'Jawan', Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is set to return to the action genre with his much-anticipated film 'King'. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the shoot of the high-octane action thriller recently began in a foreign jail. It is an intense action sequence, which will be one of the key highlights of the film.According to a Mid Day report, the filming of the jail sequence began earlier this week at Mumbai's Mehboob Studios. The scene features Shah Rukh Khan's character, a ruthless assassin, taking on a gang of criminals inside a foreign prison. "The scene is set in a foreign jail, where the protagonist takes on a gang of baddies. Since it forms a critical part of the narrative, Siddharth has flown in three international stunt experts to design the scene. On June 15, the crowd portions were canned with nearly 200 stunt performers," a source revealed to the news portal.advertisementTo prepare for this physically demanding scene, Shah Rukh has undergone intense action training over the past few weeks. The shoot for the jail sequence will reportedly continue until June 21, with several whistle-worthy moments expected to thrill audiences.
'King' promises to present Shah Rukh Khan in a slick, action-packed avatar once again. The film also marks the theatrical debut of Suhana Khan, who made her acting debut in Zoya Akhtar's 'The Archies'.The ensemble cast includes Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Arshad Warsi, Rani Mukerji, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Saurabh Shukla, Raghav Juyal, and Abhay Verma. Abhishek Bachchan is reportedly playing the film's primary antagonist, while the rest of the characters are being kept under wraps.The project is expected to have a shoot schedule of over 100 days and is tentatively set for a theatrical release on Gandhi Jayanti 2026. While the music will be composed by the popular duo Sachin–Jigar, the background score will be handled by Anirudh Ravichander.Trending Reel

John Cena ends Night of Champions with a win against CM Punk The Night of Champions is Riyadh, Saudi Arabia has been an incredible journey that fans will remember for a long, long time.

The Viper was once a mentor to Rhodes, showing him the ropes in WWE. A back problem became the center point of the match, and student overcame master, as at the end, the American Nightmare won the match against Orton to win King of the Ring by pinfall. Rhea Ripley vs Raquel Rodriguez - Street Fight Arguably one of the best matches of the night - Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez looked like two powerhouses who came to give their all in a match that blew the fans out of the park. Roxanne Perez came from behind to help her stablemate, but Mami wasn't having it. The match looked like it could go in anyone's favor until the final whistle, but Ripley finally overcame all obstacles to win it with a pinfall against friend turned foe, Raquel Rodriguez. Sami Zayn vs Karrion Kross - Singles match Sami Zayn and Karrion Kross started the match with a bang. Kross kept teasing his opponent, trying to get him mad and lose focus. But at the end, Zayn emerged as the winner after a Helluva kick that led to him winning the segment by pinfall. Solo Sikoa vs Jacob Fatu - WWE United States Championship A simple match soon turned chaotic as members of Solo Sikoa's faction started emerging one after the other. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Nigeria: Unsold Sofas at Bargain Prices (View Current Prices) Sofas | Search Ads Search Now Undo Where once Sikoa looked to be all alone when even his trusted Jacob Fatu left him, leading to the two going against each other, now he emerges as a leader once more.

Asuka vs Jade Cargill - Queen of the Ring The Queen of the Ring match between Asuka and Jade Cargill was the shortest segment of the night. The Empress of Tomorrow looked like she could be the winner a couple times, but The Storm stood her ground and emerged as the Queen of the Ring after intercepting an Empress Impact and winning the match by pinfall. John Cena vs CM Punk - Undisputed WWE Championship The highlight of the night that everyone was waiting for came at the very end, when CM Punk and John Cena took the center stage. Both powerhouse performers kept one-upping the other, but an injury to the referee proved to be the turning point of the match. Seth Rollins and his newly formed stable entered the stage alongside Paul Heyman and everyone thought he would cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase. It was an all out chaos where no one was anyone's friend, and fans seemed bewildered. Penta shows up out of the blue, but Bron Breakker grabs him on the way to the ring. Sami Zayn came back in, but Breakker is not deterred even after a couple punches. John Cena took advantage of this chaos, throwing Rollins out of the ring and then covered Punk to win the match by pinfall. The Night of Champions comes to an end with Rollins storming off with his MITB briefcase and John Cena once again being declared the Undisputed WWE Champion.

Was Shah Rukh Khan lonely during King Uncle, Devdas shooting? Jackie Shroff reveals truth: ‘Akele kone me baitha...'
Shah Rukh Khan is one of the finest actors we have in Bollywood, and there is no denying this fact. His fans are all across the globe, and people are just crazy for him. But do you know, the actor who entertains millions of people feels lonely inside? His Devdas co-star Kackie Shroff, in a recent interview, opened up about working with King Khan in 2 films and what changes he observed in him from King Uncle to Devdas. Talking to Vickey Lalwani, Jackie Shroff was asked about the observation he made in Shah Rukh Khan's growth from King Uncle to Devdas. Revealing about it, the veteran actor recalled SRK playing his younger brother in King Uncle and stated that he saw his 'akelapan' (loneliness). Jackie further said that he saw Shah Rukh sitting on his own on the sets of King Uncle. 'He was playing with my younger brother. And he was respectful, focused on his work, he was charismatic, and charming. But aloof,' he added. Shroff also quipped that he used to be aloof just like the Pathaan star and feels that every actor should experience a sense of loneliness. Elaborating on what he said, Jackie Shroff mentioned that before Devdas, too, they did a couple of films together, like One 2 Ka Four. But, on Devdas, he was the same. 'Mere liye toh mera bhai tha, chhota bhai jo maine dekha. Wohi ladka jo maine dekha tha ki akele kone mein baitha hai. Role bhi waisa tha Devdas ka, aur main jaisa hoon waisa hi tha uske saath.' Jackie Shroff also expressed that it's always lonely at the top, and usually, when one reaches a certain level of success then they experience this. And this was the case with the King Star as well. Talking about Jackie Shroff and Shah Rukh Khan sharing screen space, they were last seen in Happy New Year. This film also had Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Boman Irani and more actors. Reportedly, they will also be seen sharing screen space in SRK's upcoming movie King.
