Shah Rukh Khan will be seen collaborating with his daughter Suhana Khan for the first time in Siddharth Anand’s upcoming actioner King. Now, actor Saurabh Shukla, who is also a part of the film, in a recent interview, spoke about his experience of working with SRK over the years and the camaraderie of the superstar and his daughter Suhana on sets of King.

During a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Saurabh reflected on his early days working with Shah Rukh and spoke about reuniting with him on King.

“I worked with him in Badshah. He was a rising star then. At that time, I didn’t meet him much; we interacted only briefly. Over the years, I have met Shah Rukh at different times in different ways,” he said. Praising SRK’s business sense, Saurabh said, “Shah Rukh is definitely a very good businessman. Otherwise, it is not possible to create such an empire and hold it single-handedly. Of course, now there is an army of people, but he has created that army himself. He has great support from his family; all of that is there.”

The actor went on about witnessing SRK in a completely different light – as a father – while working on King. “He is a very wise father. There is being protective, but I think he gives ample freedom to his children because they have their own voice. He is not possessive or overly protective. Of course, a father will be protective, but he is wonderful. On set, he was like a colleague, like a co-actor with Suhana. He was rehearsing and suggesting things like any co-actor would,” Saurabh added.

Apart from SRK, King also stars Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Arshad Warsi, and Jaideep Ahlawat in key roles. The film marks Suhana Khan’s theatrical debut after her film debut with the 2024 Netflix film, The Archies.
