Deepika Padukone to play Suhana Khan's mother in SRK's King?

Bollywood: Deepika Padukone is reportedly believed to be reuniting with Shah Rukh Khan for Siddharth Anand's King, and she is set to play Suhana Khan's mother in the movie.

"Her character is integral to the plot and serves as the primary conflict in the storyline," the report revealed. "Both Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand were keen on casting Deepika for this special character, and she enthusiastically accepted the offer despite it not being a full-fledged lead role." This unexpected casting move adds emotional layers to an already gripping story, making Deepika's role one to watch closely.

'King' marks the sixth big collaboration between Shah Rukh and Deepika and their third in a row following the hits 'Pathaan' and 'Jawan.' Their on-screen bond constantly grows and continues to get stronger with each film-and in 'King,' it takes a more mature, intense direction. As per reports, there are rumors that this duo will reunite again next year for YRF's most anticipated Pathaan 2. Their partnership isn't going anywhere any time soon, and fans are thrilled.

While the makers haven’t revealed full plot details yet, PeepingMoon describes ‘King’ as a revenge-driven action thriller that echoes the tone of the 2000 film ‘Bichhoo,’ which itself was loosely inspired by the French classic ‘Léon: The Professional’ (1994).
