Why does this story matter?
It's no news that in 2023 SRK dominated the box office with blockbuster hits like Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki. Simultaneously, it was a big year for his daughter, too, who made a striking OTT debut in Zoya Akhtar's The Archies. Now, fans are awaiting their on-screen collaboration in the intriguingly titled film King. SRK is often hailed as the "King of Bollywood," but the story behind the title is yet unexplained. Details about the plot aren't out either.
