About Shah Rukh
Shah Rukh will be next seen in King, helmed by Sujoy Ghosh. Speaking with Giona A Nazzaro, the artistic director of the Locarno, earlier this month, he said, "The next film I am doing King, I have to start working on it, have to lose some weight a little, do some stretching." He had also said, "There are certain kinds of film that I want to do, maybe it's more age centric and I want to try something for 6-7 years I've been thinking about it and I mentioned it to Sujoy one day while we were sitting. He works with us at our office, he's made some films for us. He says, Sir, I have a subject." Reportedly, the film will also star Shah Rukh's daughter Suhana.
He will also lend his voice to Mufasa in the Hindi version of Mufasa: The Lion King. Aryan Khan will voice Simba, Mufasa's son, while AbRam Khan will take on the role of Young Mufasa.
