Arshad Warsi Joins Shah Rukh Khan’s Action-Thriller King Amid Buzz About Star-Studded Cast

Abhishek Bachchan, Suhana Khan, and Munjya star Abhay Verma are also rumored to be on board, as excitement builds for the 2026 release.

The buzz around Shah Rukh Khan’s next big project, King, is growing louder with every passing day—even though the film hasn’t been officially announced yet. The latest addition to the rumored cast is none other than Arshad Warsi, as reported by Peeping Moon. While the details of his role remain tightly under wraps, his involvement is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the film.

The ensemble cast already boasts exciting names like Abhishek Bachchan, Abhay Verma—who recently gained attention for his performance in Munjya—and Suhana Khan, who will reportedly be sharing screen space with her superstar father for the first time. The movie is being directed by Siddharth Anand, known for his sleek action spectacles like Pathaan and War.

Adding to the mystery, there were strong rumors that Deepika Padukone would make a special appearance in the film, possibly as Suhana Khan’s mother and Shah Rukh Khan’s former lover. However, director Siddharth Anand shut down those speculations with a one-word post on X (formerly Twitter): “False.” He didn’t elaborate further, keeping fans guessing about what’s real and what’s just hearsay.

Despite the swirling rumors and increasing anticipation, the release date remains unconfirmed. Insiders suggest King is eyeing a theatrical release sometime in 2026.
