Abhishek and SRK have previously featured together in films such as ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’ and ‘Happy New Year’.

Recently, a video of SRK was widely shared on social media, where eagle-eyed fans noticed the film’s script lying on the table beside him.

Reportedly, the film is also set to star Shah Rukh’s daughter and actor, Suhana.

The video happened to be from a clip of Shah Rukh congratulating cinematographer Santosh Sivan after he received the prestigious Pierre Angenieux Excel Lens Award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

In the video, a section of the internet spotted the script of ‘King’ on the table next to him.

It also contained some additional details on its cover, which were not visible in the video.

If reports are to be believed, ‘King’ will be directed by Sujoy Ghosh.
