Shah Rukh Khan, often hailed as the “King” of Bollywood, has essayed numerous memorable roles on the big screen throughout his career. Among these, his portrayal of the iconic character Don has garnered immense popularity among audiences. Now, it seems that King Khan is gearing up to mesmerize viewers once again by donning the avatar of Don.
However, the twist in the tale lies in the fact that Shah Rukh Khan is reportedly not reprising the role of Don for Farhan Akhtar’s film franchise but for another project. According to media reports, he is set to play a gray-shaded character in Sujoy Ghosh’s upcoming film, tentatively titled “King.”

“King” is said to be a passionate project for him, and he is meticulously involved in all aspects of the project alongside directors Siddharth Anand and Sujoy Ghosh. Together, they have crafted a character filled with attitude and swagger, perfectly suited for Shah Rukh Khan.
