Shah Rukh Khan opens up about King
At the Locarno Film Festival, Shah Rukh Khan spoke about the project and the kind of film he wanted to make.
He said, “It is an action drama; it’s a Hindi film. It’ll be interesting. I’ve been wanting to do a film like that for some time, and I really wanted to do a film like this for seven, eight years. We just felt Sujoy would be the right choice because we wanted it to be very emotionally correct. We are all coming together to make a cool, massy, action, emotional film.”
