King: Rani Mukerji To Team Up With Shah Rukh Khan After 19 Years - Report

Siddharth Anand's King has been making it to the headlines for one reason, and that is casting. Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Abhay Verma, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, and Arshad Warsi are already in the cast, and now, joining them is Rani Mukerji. According to a report in Pinkvilla, Rani will be seen in an extended cameo in the movie and will play the role of Suhana's mother. Her character acts as a catalyst in the film.

Reportedly, Rani will only shoot for five days, but her track is the heart of the movie. A source told the portal, “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."
