SRK begins filming intense jail action scene for King with 200 stuntmen: Report
After the massive success of ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is set to return to the action genre with his much-anticipated film ‘King’. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the shoot of the high-octane action thriller recently began in a foreign jail. It is an intense action sequence, which will be one of the key highlights of the film.
According to a Mid Day report, the filming of the jail sequence began earlier this week at Mumbai’s Mehboob Studios. The scene features Shah Rukh Khan’s character, a ruthless assassin, taking on a gang of criminals inside a foreign prison. “The scene is set in a foreign jail, where the protagonist takes on a gang of baddies. Since it forms a critical part of the narrative, Siddharth has flown in three international stunt experts to design the scene. On June 15, the crowd portions were canned with nearly 200 stunt performers,” a source revealed to the news portal.
To prepare for this physically demanding scene, Shah Rukh has undergone intense action training over the past few weeks. The shoot for the jail sequence will reportedly continue until June 21, with several whistle-worthy moments expected to thrill audiences.
‘King’ promises to present Shah Rukh Khan in a slick, action-packed avatar once again. The film also marks the theatrical debut of Suhana Khan, who made her acting debut in Zoya Akhtar’s ‘The Archies’.
The ensemble cast includes Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Arshad Warsi, Rani Mukerji, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Saurabh Shukla, Raghav Juyal, and Abhay Verma. Abhishek Bachchan is reportedly playing the film’s primary antagonist, while the rest of the characters are being kept under wraps.
The project is expected to have a shoot schedule of over 100 days and is tentatively set for a theatrical release on Gandhi Jayanti 2026. While the music will be composed by the popular duo Sachin–Jigar, the background score will be handled by Anirudh Ravichander.
