Shah Rukh Khan collaborated with singer Akon for his 2011 superhero film Ra.One. 15 years later, the superstar could bring another singer on board for his mega-ambitious King. This time, it’s none other than Ed Sheeran.
Sheeran’s song Sapphire has a cameo by SRK and here’s the video that has gone viral:
A fan club shared that clip on Instagram and wrote, “Can’t wait for the full Punjabi version.”
And this is what Sheeran wrote- “The Hindi song was for a Bollywood movie SRK is doing, this is the Punjabi version of Sapphire with Arijit. I’m just doing all languages at this point.”
Shah Rukh Khan starrer King has just got bigger and grander. The stylish action-thriller already has the ensemble cast of Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Suhana Khan, Arshad Warsi, Jaideep Ahlawat and Abhay Verma and the latest one to join the bandwagon is versatile star Rani Mukerji.
As per reports, Rani will play a crucial extended cameo in King. “Rani Mukerji and Shah Rukh Khan have worked together on films lik_e Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham_, and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna among others, and are now all set for a reunion. Rani Mukerji has been cast to play the part of Suhana Khan’s mother, and it’s a role which acts as a catalyst for the entire action-thriller in the film,” a source told PinkVilla.
“It was a no-brainer for Rani to say yes to Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand’s offer for King. She heard the part, and instantly agreed to on board the film. Rani’s track is the heart of King, leading to the emotional depth,” added the source.
The Siddharth Anand directorial will reportedly go on floors on May 20 with its Mumbai schedule. In the movie, SRK will portray the character of an assassin and will take against the character of Abhishek Bachchan.
