Deepika Padukone is all set to thrill her fans once again, starring alongside Shah Rukh Khan in the upcoming film, King.
The Indian actress, who garnered recognition for her performances in multiple projects, has reportedly joined the cast of the action-thriller film.
A source close to the development reported that the Padmaavat star will be seen in an unexpected role.
Deepika, 39, who shares daughter Dua Padukone Singh with Ranveer Singh, is set to play the role of Suhana Khan’s mother.
Considering the successful on-screen chemistry between the Pathaan duo, the makers chose the Bajirao Mastani actress for the role, dropping the idea of casting Saif Ali Khan and Tabu as parents.
The Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham actor and Deepika have previously worked together in several films, including Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, Pathaan, and Jawan.
The Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani star was last seen in action/thriller, Singham Returns.
King, starring Shah Rukh, Suhana, Deepika, and Abhishek Bachchan, is expected to be shot in Mumbai and Europe.
For the unversed, the Siddharth Anand’s King is slated for release by the end of 2026.
