Shah Rukh Khan to delay King shoot :

Amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and director Siddharth Anand are reportedly considering a delay in the mahurat of their highly anticipated film King. Given the sensitive geopolitical climate, the team is said to be reassessing the timing of the official launch to ensure a more stable and conducive environment for the project.

As per previous reports, Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, and Siddharth Anand had planned the mahurat for May 16, 2026. However, they are now looking to reschedule the filming in light of the current situations in the nation. A report in Mid-Day suggests that the Pathaan duo is likely to postpone the shooting for a while.

"Despite the ceasefire, things remain sensitive, and the situation is dynamic. So, everyone is wondering whether this would be a good time to take their projects on the floors. The team of King has been working towards May 16, which is when they’re expected to begin filming. But a slight delay won’t be surprising as it would be preferable to go on set when the atmosphere is less tense," a source told the portal. It's a good decision too since the political tension directly reflects on entertainment industry.
