FACT CHECK: Shah Rukh Khan begins shooting for King in Spain? Viral leaked image is from British-Spanish mystery thriller White Lines

Shah Rukh Khan is all set to enthrall audiences with a gritty and nuanced portrayal of a don in his upcoming film, titled King. The movie promises to be a high-octane action thriller with a raw and rustic edge. This project also marks the much-awaited silver screen debut of Suhana Khan, Shah Rukh Khan's daughter, who previously dipped her toes in acting with the OTT release The Archies last December. Recently, an image believed to be from the film's set in Spain surfaced online, further fueling fan theories about production being underway.

The picture shows a man believed to be Khan engrossed in conversation with a group of men while sporting a sharp blue suit. The backdrop of the scene hints at a picturesque location with stunning blue water and mountains, adding to the intrigue. However, Bollywood Hungama is here to confirm that the viral image is not of Shah Rukh Khan. The photo is from a scene in the first episode of the British-Spanish mystery thriller White Lines, released in 2020 on Netflix where Marcus and his colleagues meet with Mafia boss Oriol Calafat. Álex Pina, the man behind the popular Spanish series Money Heist, created the series.

Shah Rukh Khan is currently in Italy with his family to attend the pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. They left Mumbai following the IPL 2024 win of Kolkata Knight Riders.

As per previous reports, Khan's character in King is described as possessing a complex moral compass, with shades of grey that will undoubtedly intrigue viewers. He's collaborating closely with Siddharth Anand and Sujoy Ghosh to craft a character that is both stylish and ruthless.  Although plot details are still under wraps, reports suggest King will be a fast-paced action thriller that pushes the boundaries of survival. Khan will play the role of a mentor, guiding a disciple through this perilous world. This disciple will be none other than Suhana Khan herself.

Bollywood Hungama reported that Shah Rukh Khan himself is spearheading the creative direction and even participating in action sequence training alongside Suhana. Sujoy Ghosh and Siddharth Anand envision King as a raw and rustic action film with a massive budget of Rs. 200 crores. The source further revealed that Siddharth Anand was in talks with Western stunt directors to join the King team.

The highly anticipated movie is slated for a theatrical release in the second half of 2025. ALSO READ: After Shah Rukh Khan, Kartik Aaryan to illuminate Burj Khalifa with Chandu Champion
