After the blockbuster success of Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand are reuniting on the action-packed thriller, King. Produced by Red Chillies and Marflix, the makers have pulled off a massive ensemble on board the film which marks the big screen launch of Suhana Khan. King features SRK and Deepika Padukone in lead, with Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Suhana Khan, Arshad Warsi, and Abhay Verma in key roles. And now, we have exclusively learnt that the cast of King has gotten even bigger.

According to sources close to the development, Rani Mukerji has joined Shah Rukh Khan and team on King for a crucial extended cameo. “Rani Mukerji and Shah Rukh Khan have worked together on films like 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,” revealed a source.

The source further added that it’s more of an extended cameo, warranting just 5-shooting days from Rani. “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,” the source informed.
