Shah Rukh Khan starrer King has consistently made headlines, and now, fresh buzz suggests that the cast has taken a short break ahead of a major European shooting schedule set to begin in the last week of August.
According to a report by Mid-Day, a source close to the production revealed, “Locations are currently being locked. The shortlisted cities include Budapest, Prague, and possibly Berlin, where sleek chase sequences will unfold. Siddharth wants these sequences to be stunning and has told his team to scout for some never-before-seen locales.” The source further added, “These will be quick, smaller-unit shoots aimed at filling plot gaps without requiring the full crew’s return.”
Siddharth Anand had taken over as director of King, which stars Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, and Abhishek Bachchan. Sujoy Ghosh was initially attached to helm the film, but Anand later came on board and reworked the script to deliver a larger-than-life cinematic experience — a process that eventually delayed the film’s shoot to June.
An industry insider told us, “Siddharth Anand and Shah Rukh Khan delivered Pathaan, and with King, the goal is to surpass the benchmark set by the YRF Spy Universe film. Sid wants everything to be perfect on paper before going on floors.”
