The first report of Abhishek's casting in 'King' was shared by Peeping Moon. It stated that Abhishek will play a sophisticated villain facing off against Shah Rukh's mafia persona. The film will be produced by Siddharth Anand, the director of 'Pathaan.' Abhishek and Shah Rukh previously collaborated in Farah Khan's 'Happy New Year.'
What source revealed
A source mentioned, "Abhishek is an actor whose full potential has yet to be fully realized. He has the ability to astonish audiences when given complex roles. 'King' presents him in an out-and-out negative role for the first time in such a large-scale commercial movie, and he is sure to make a significant impact with his performance. The Jr. Bachchan was surprised when he was offered this role but accepted it immediately, intrigued by the depth of his character. It’s a special role, and Siddharth Anand has grand plans to present Abhishek in a manner audiences have never seen before.”

Suhana Khan will be playing a young girl coming to terms with a life-altering situation, marking her theatrical debut. She made her acting debut with Zoya Akhtar's coming-of-age period film 'The Archies' on Netflix India last year.
Abhishek was last seen in R. Balki's 'Ghoomer,' while Shah Rukh had a blockbuster 2023 with three successful releases: 'Pathaan,' 'Jawan,' and 'Dunki.'
