Raghav Juyal roped in for Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan's King? Here's what we know
The two are said to play pivotal roles in the project.
According to a report by Pinkvilla, Raghav Juyal will play a key role in King.
The report quoted a source saying, 'The casting of King is done to perfection, as the makers have roped in credible and well-known actors for every single character. The entire cast has been locked after multiple rounds of discussions, and every actor is more than ecstatic to come on board the Shah Rukh Khan film."
On the other hand, Saurabh Shukla dropped a hint about joining the cast of King.
He recently posted a photo of a hamper on Instagram. The hamper came with several goodies and a white mug which read 'KING' on it.
The Jolly LLB actor added in the caption, 'With @iamsrk after years & the little princess for the first time. #Actinglife."
If the Pinkvilla report is true, Saurabh has now joined the shoot for King.
'Saurabh Shukla has already started shooting for the film in Mumbai with SRK and Suhana," the source also said.
It is believed that King will reunite with Shah Rukh Khan with Rani Mukerji on screen after a gap of 19 years.
A source told Pinkvilla previously, 'It was a no-brainer for Rani to say yes to Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand's offer for King. She heard the part, and instantly agreed to come on board the film.'
'Rani Mukerji and Shah Rukh Khan have worked together on films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, among others, and are now all set for a reunion," it also added.
King is also said to star Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Arshad Warsi, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Abhay Verma.
The film is directed by Siddharth Anand.
The production of the film began on May 20.

The post comes at a time when Anita is rumoured to be returning to reality TV. According to reports, she is one of the contestants in the upcoming show Goriya Chali Gaon. The show is inspired by the Marathi hit Jau Bai Gavat and follows a unique format where 12 well-known women from the entertainment industry spend 10 weeks in a remote village, stripped of all urban luxuries. As part of the show's concept, participants will live without their phones and modern comforts and engage in everyday rural chores like milking cows, cooking on traditional chulhas, and fetching water from wells. Sources close to the production reveal that Anita recently met with the show's makers, discussed the concept in depth, and officially came on board. No stranger to reality television, Anita has previously been seen in shows like Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi, Nach Baliye, and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. While she hasn't confirmed her participation in Goriya Chali Gaon, her decision to step away from social media could be related to the show's strict format or a personal call for introspection before a challenging journey ahead.

When Lalit Modi Called Sushmita Sen His "Better Half" And The Internet Lost It
Three years ago, fugitive billionaire Lalit Modi sent the Internet into a tizzy after he referred to Sushmita Sen, Bollywood star and former Miss Universe, as his "better half". In a post that still exists, the ex-commissioner of the Indian Premier League (IPL) shared a series of pictures with the Aarya actor on X, when it was still called Twitter. Just back in london after a whirling global tour #maldives # sardinia with the families - not to mention my #betterhalf @sushmitasen47 - a new beginning a new life finally. Over the moon. 🥰😘😍😍🥰💕💞💖💘💓 — Lalit Kumar Modi (@LalitKModi) July 14, 2022 "Just back in London after a whirling global tour #maldives # sardinia with the families - not to mention my #betterhalf @sushmitasen47 - a new beginning, a new life finally. Over the moon," Lalit Modi wrote. What followed was a speculation storm. "Sushmita Sen marries Lalit Modi?" was what some of the headlines looked like. Within an hour, Lalit Modi issued a clarification. Just for clarity. Not married - just dating each other. That too it will happen one day. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 — Lalit Kumar Modi (@LalitKModi) July 14, 2022 "Just for clarity. Not married - just dating each other. That too it will happen one day," he wrote. A day later, Sushmita Sen shared a cryptic post on Instagram, saying she was "not married" but "unconditionally surrounded by love". View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sushmita Sen (@sushmitasen47) "I'm in a happy place! Not married... no rings... and unconditionally surrounded by love. Enough clarification given... Now back to life and work! Thank you for sharing my happiness, always ... And for those who don't... it's #NOYB anyway. I love you guys!" she wrote. The Main Hoon Na actor took no names in her post in which she shared a photograph with her daughters, Renee and Alisah. In the middle of the social media frenzy, a section of people on the Internet labelled Sushmita Sen as a "gold digger".

Months later, Lalit Modi deleted all the pictures with Sushmita Sen from his Instagram account and changed his bio and profile picture, fueling rumours of a split. In a 2023 interview, Sushmita Sen spoke about why she decided to reply to her naysayers with the post. "Sometimes I think when people keep quiet, their silence is mistaken for weakness or fear. I just needed to put out one post to let them know I am laughing. After that I was done with it. You can't be 47 years old having lived most of your life in the public eye and be afraid of the public... I have been one of those people who has been loved so much, that when this sort of stuff happens, I think it's okay, I accept it, sabki life mein kabhi na kabhi aisi kankan hoti hai. "But it in no way defines who I am. So, I had to put it out there to show, I find the memes funny, but if you are calling someone a gold digger, at least don't monetise it! Check your facts. I prefer diamonds, not gold... And if I was going to marry, I would be married to them, love. I don't try. I do it or I don't," she told Mid-Day. Earlier this year, Lalit Modi introduced his girlfriend Rima Bouri, a friend of 25 years, to the world on the occasion of Valentine's Day.

The video went viral in no time after Lalit Modi shared it on his Instagram page on Thursday.

Bollywood star Salman Khan has officially announced his next film Battle of Galwan , a patriotic war drama inspired by the 2020 military clash between Indian and Chinese troops in Ladakh's Galwan Valley. The film, directed by Apoorva Lakhia and co-starring Chitrangda Singh, revisits one of India's most severe border conflicts in recent history, notable for being fought without the use of firearms. First Look Creates Buzz Salman Khan took to Instagram to share a striking motion poster from the film, which immediately created a stir online. In the poster, Khan appears bloodied and battle-worn, gripping a wooden stick wrapped in barbed wire, his face bearing cuts and a fierce moustache. The caption included the words: 'Over 15,000 ft. above sea level, India fought its most brutal battle without firing a single bullet.'

The visual, accompanied by a tense soundtrack, has been praised for its gritty representation of combat and patriotic fervour. Fans flooded social media with reactions like 'Aa gaya toofaan' and 'Box office tabahi loading,' expressing excitement over the actor's intense new role. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 7 All-Inclusive Destinations That Accept Credit Card Rewards Liseer Learn More Undo Depicting the Real Battle The film draws from the real-life events of June 15, 2020, when Indian and Chinese soldiers clashed in the Galwan Valley—a strategically significant region along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Firearms were not used due to prior agreements, and the confrontation involved hand-to-hand combat using makeshift weapons like sticks and stones. According to official reports, the conflict led to the death of 20 Indian soldiers, including Colonel B Santosh Babu, who is reportedly the role Salman Khan will portray. Battle of Galwan is helmed by Apoorva Lakhia, known for action-driven films like Shootout at Lokhandwala and Haseena Parkar. The project is set to begin filming in Ladakh in July, with a tentative wrap scheduled for November. The production aims for a 2025 release. Background of the Galwan Valley Clash The Galwan incident marked the first combat fatalities between India and China in over four decades. The immediate trigger was reported to be China's objection to India's road construction activities in the region, particularly the extension of a road linking the Darbuk-Shyok-Daulat Beg Oldi axis to an airbase. The clash escalated tensions significantly, prompting multiple rounds of high-level diplomatic and military negotiations, though a full resolution has yet to be reached. Salman Khan's Physical Transformation Salman Khan, known for his commitment to physical roles, showcased a significantly leaner and more rugged appearance in the film's teaser. He had earlier shared a social media post hinting at this transformation, writing about the importance of hard work and perseverance. His look for Battle of Galwan has been widely appreciated as a departure from his recent on-screen appearances. Following the underwhelming box office response of Sikandar, Battle of Galwan marks a pivotal return for Khan. He also has sequels to Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kick, and Andaz Apna Apna in development, along with a rumoured collaboration with Sanjay Dutt for an action film titled Ganga Ram, and a possible reunion with Sooraj Barjatya for a family-oriented drama.
