The “King” is back on his throne. After a six-week hiatus following his 60th birthday celebrations, Shah Rukh Khan has officially resumed filming for his highly anticipated action-thriller King today, Saturday, December 20, 2025.
The Goregaon Schedule: “Intense & Demanding”
Sources close to the production at Film City, Goregaon, reveal that this new leg of the shoot is the most physically taxing to date.
International Stunt Team: Director Siddharth Anand (of Pathaan fame) has reportedly brought in a team of international stunt directors to choreograph stylized hand-to-hand combat and dramatic confrontation scenes.
Suhana’s Debut: This schedule is particularly significant as it features Suhana Khan, who is making her theatrical debut alongside her father. Insiders suggest the father-daughter duo will be filming several pivotal scenes together over the next few weeks.
The “Grey” Look: Fans can expect SRK in a rugged “salt-and-pepper” avatar, a look that was briefly teased during his birthday celebrations in November.
Fact Check: The “Leaked” Song Controversy
Social media was set ablaze on Friday night when a video purportedly showing a “leaked song” from King began circulating.
- The Video: The clip showed Shah Rukh and Deepika Padukone romancing to a track with the lyrics “Main toh behak gaya, tere ishq mein behak gaya,” culminating in a passionate kiss.
- The Truth: Fact-checkers and tech experts quickly debunked the video as AI-generated. The footage used “salt-and-pepper” visuals of SRK from his 2023 blockbuster Jawan and stitched them together with previous public appearances of Deepika using deepfake technology.
- Makers’ Silence: While the producers (Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures) have not commented, fans are being urged to ignore the “fake and fan-made” edit.
