King becomes a REUNION bonanza: Shah Rukh Khan to share screen with Anil Kapoor after 31 years, Rani Mukerji after 20 years and Jackie Shroff after 12 years It’s been almost six months since the first look teaser of King was unveiled on the occasion of Shah Rukh Khan’s 60th birthday. Yet, the excitement around the film has remained constant, even though its release is still nearly seven months away. Recently, we came across a tweet by an SRK fan that made an interesting observation – the superstar is collaborating with several members of King’s ensemble cast after a very long gap. While he is reuniting with some after a decade, others are sharing screen space with him after nearly 20 or even 30 years. In this article, Bollywood Hungama takes a closer look at this nostalgic reunion factor. Anil Kapoor will feature in a crucial role in King and he was last seen with Shah Rukh Khan in Trimurti (1995), which was released 31 years ago. This is the only film that featured both actors. With Saurabh Shukla, SRK has worked thrice — in Baadshah (1999), Hey Ram (2000) and Mohabbatein (2000). Hence, both will be seen together in a film after 26 years. Shah Rukh Khan and Arshad Warsi haven’t shared screen space in full-fledged roles in a film. However, Shah Rukh appeared in an entertaining and crucial cameo in the Arshad Warsi-starrer Kuchh Meetha Ho Jaye (2005). Then, Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji last appeared together in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006). She’s the co-star in Ki... #Shah #years #Khan #Rukh_Khan #Shah_Rukh #Rukh #Anil_Kapoor #King #Rani_Mukerji #Jackie_Shroff

Shah Rukh Khan-Deepika Padukone's King leak goes viral: Are fan pages bigger than official promotions now? Leaked visuals from the South Africa schedule of King, featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, went viral online; Siddharth Anand requested fans not to circulate such visuals to preserve the film’s cinematic experience. Once upon a time, Bollywood controlled the first look. A poster was planned. A teaser was timed. A still was approved. A magazine cover was negotiated. A campaign was built week by week, sometimes month by month. The audience saw what the studio wanted them to see, when the studio wanted them to see it. That world is gone. The King leak controversy proves it. One leaked visual from a foreign schedule can now do what crores of marketing money once did. Ignite national conversation before the makers are ready.
