Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand have reunited once again after the success of Pathaan, for the action-thriller King. The much-anticipated film also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Suhana Khan and Abhay Verma. And if recent reports are to be believed, Jr Bachchan is set to undergo a massive transformation for his character in the film.
As per a source quoted by a leading publication, Bachchan will be seen in a never-seen-before avatar that has a menacing appearance and a certain kind of a physique. The source stated, “Siddharth Anand is planning to present Abhishek Bachchan like never before in King as Jr. B will have a special look in this action-packed entertainer. The idea is to create a character that has a menacing appearance, with a certain kind of physique. Abhishek has already started to hit the gym to attain a lean physique in King. It’s going to be face-off like never before between Shah Rukh Khan and Abhishek Bachchan in King.”
The source continued, “Abhishek has always been a versatile actor, and King would mark his first in an out-and-out negative space alongside Shah Rukh Khan. His lean appearance in King will blow over the audience, and Sid will be unleashing his characters with special assets once the film goes on floors. Siddharth Anand wants it to be a clash of two alpha on-screen personalities and SRK too is working hard in the gym to have a physique of a certain kind.”
The film is expected to go on floors by June this year with a schedule in Mumbai. This will be followed by important shooting schedules in Europe. The makers are also trying to rope in a leading actress for a cameo. As per sources, the actress will be shooting for 15-20 days, and the makers are trying to lock in either Deepika Padukone or Kareena Kapoor Khan.
