As per reports, Rani will play a crucial extended cameo in King. “Rani Mukerji and Shah Rukh Khan have worked together on films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham_, and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna among others, and are now all set for a reunion. Rani Mukerji has been cast to play the part of Suhana Khan’s mother, and it’s a role which acts as a catalyst for the entire action-thriller in the film,” a source told PinkVilla.
“It was a no-brainer for Rani to say yes to Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand’s offer for King. She heard the part, and instantly agreed to on board the film. Rani’s track is the heart of King, leading to the emotional depth,” added the source.
The Siddharth Anand directorial will reportedly go on floors on May 20 with its Mumbai schedule. In the movie, SRK will portray the character of an assassin and will take against the character of Abhishek Bachchan.
