Who’s Playing What In King? Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone & Star Cast Roles Unveiled

Shah Rukh Khan’s film King is expected to feature many stars like Rani Mukerji, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Suhana Khan, Anil Kapoor, and more.

King hits screens in 2026 with a star-studded cast.

Suhana Khan makes her big-screen debut, playing SRK’s protégé in the film. Their mentor-student bond drives a major part of the plot.

Abhishek Bachchan is set to play a key antagonist opposite Shah Rukh Khan.

Rani Mukerji reportedly has a 5-day cameo where she plays Suhana’s mother. Her role is said to be a catalyst for the story’s emotional core.

While early reports claimed she plays Suhana’s mother, more recent updates suggest Deepika has a full-length and significant role, not just a cameo.

Anil Kapoor reportedly takes on the role of SRK’s handler—guiding or managing his assassin character.

Though his role is reportedly small, it’s pivotal and quirky with grey shades. Arshad joined the film out of respect and affection for SRK.

Jackie Shroff is reportedly playing one of the key antagonists, adding his signature intensity to the role.

Jaideep Ahlawat is also said to portray a villain, sharing the antagonist space and raising the film’s menacing quotient.

Abhay Verma is rumored to play Suhana’s love interest. While he hasn’t confirmed his role, he hinted that something is in the works.
