Bhubaneswar: After a notorious report Monday claimed of Pathaan star cast reloading in King. Director Siddarth Anand himself came forward to rubbish the report.
Taking to social media, the top helmer declared the news report as false.
False.

Bollywood Hungama has claimed that Sonam Bajwa is all set to play a key role in King.
The news report stated, "Sonam is a superstar of Punjab and is all set to make her debut with Shah Rukh Khan in King. The actress is doing multiple films - from Housefull 5 to Baaghi 4 and more - and King is set to be her biggest till date.
Interestingly, the ace helmer has today twitted - Again False.
Again, false.

But X users are perplexed as Siddarth Anand is calling what as “Again False”? The helmer has not dropped any clue about the concept.
Because, another report in Mid-day has claimed Tuesday that King shoot has been delayed.
The report quoting sources said, Shah Rukh Khan is in no hurry to begin shooting of King.
“SRK’s upcoming action film, which also stars his daughter Suhana Khan, the shoot of which was earlier expected to begin by May or June, has been pushed to July or August.”
WHY DELAYED?
The report claimed that SRK has decided to take more time as he wants the script to be perfect. Since King is Suhana’s big-screen debut and their first film together, the superstar is being extra careful about every detail.
Quoting sources, the report said, “Scripting is going on. The makers want to ensure they have a terrific script at hand before the camera starts rolling. King not only sees Suhana coming on the big screen for the first time, but also features the father-daughter duo together. Keeping these factors in mind, Shah Rukh wants the team to take their time to polish the material and deliver an ambitious movie.”
But Siddarth Anand’s “False Again” tweet is disowning which report – Delay report or Sonam Bajwa – remains unclear.
But most X users assumed that Siddarth is responding to the ‘shoot delay’ report.
ABOUT KING
The film is being helmed by Siddarth Anand, who previously directed Pathaan and War. He is co-writing the script with filmmaker Sujay Ghosh, who was earlier expected to direct the film himself. Both are now working closely to induce refinement to the script.
King is among the most awaited releases of 2026. In the film, Shah Rukh Khan reportedly plays a hitman, while Suhana plays his trainee. The cast also includes Abhishek Bachchan as the main villain and Munjya actor Abhay Verma in a key role.
Shah Rukh Khan had earlier said that King will be a mix of high-stakes action and deep emotions.
SRK LEAVES MANNAT
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh, Gauri, and the whole family have temporarily shifted to a luxury apartment in the Pali Hill area. They are expected to stay there for around two years.
The big reason is their iconic house Mannat in Bandra, is currently under renovation.
