Described as a “slick, high-octane action entertainer that redefines style, charisma, and thrills,” King also stars Shah Rukh’s daughter Suhana Khan and frequent collaborator Deepika Padukone. The duo have delivered box-office hits together, including Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, Pathaan, and most recently, Jawan (2023).
