Shah Rukh Khan once revealed he can't work with Akshay Kumar for THIS reason: 'Not many people are fond of...'
Shah Rukh Khan revealed the reason for not working with Akshay Kumar. Their different work schedules pose a challenge. SRK is a night owl, while Akshay starts early. SRK is preparing for his film 'King'. The film also stars Suhana Khan. 'King' is directed by Siddharth Anand. The film is slated for release in late 2026. Fans have long dreamt of seeing Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar share the screen, but SRK once offered a hilarious—and surprisingly relatable—reason why it might never come true. Despite their mutual respect and fan demand, the two superstars operate on completely opposite schedules, making a collaboration almost impossible. In an interview with DNA, Shah Rukh was asked whether he could take on multiple films a year like Akshay and possibly work with him. He explained that their contrasting schedules make it difficult—while Akshay starts his day early, SRK is a night owl who prefers working late, often when Akshay is already done for the day. Their differing routines, he said, make collaboration quite a challenge. SRK also admitted it would be fun to work with Akshay, but joked that their schedules are so different, they'd probably never meet on set. He pointed out that just as Akshay wraps up for the day, he starts shooting. While SRK would love to collaborate, he noted that their completely opposite working hours make it tough. On the work front, Shah Rukh is gearing up for his much-awaited film King. Directed by Siddharth Anand , the action-packed project will mark the first time SRK shares screen space with his daughter, Suhana Khan , making it a highly anticipated release for fans. King boasts a star-studded ensemble featuring Deepika Padukone , Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan , Jackie Shroff , Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Abhay Verma, Saurabh Shukla, and more in key roles. Slated for a theatrical release in the last quarter of 2026 (between October and December), the film will showcase Shah Rukh Khan in a never-seen-before avatar as a deadly assassin, locked in an intense face-off with Abhishek Bachchan.

When Shah Rukh Khan revealed the real reason why he can't work with Akshay Kumar
Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan is one of the most celebrated stars in the world. He has a huge loyal fan base who eagerly await his movies. Not just him, but even Akshay Kumar has a huge fan base. People want to see both superstars work together on a project someday. However, it seems that it isn't possible. Let's rewind to the moment when SRK hilariously explained why a film with Akshay may never happen because Khan is a night owl and the latter is an early riser. In an interview with DNA, Shah Rukh Khan was asked if he could feature in three to four films in a year like Akshay Kumar and can work with him, he shared, 'What do I say to this? I don't wake up as early as him.' The King actor further added, 'I go to sleep when Akshay is waking up. His day starts early. By the time I start working, he is packing up and going home. So he can put in more hours of work. I'm a nocturnal person. Not many people are fond of shooting at night like me.' SRK further shared that it will be 'fun' to work with Akshay Kumar, however, they won't be able to meet on the set. He added that when the Kesari Chapter 2 actor will leave the sets, he will enter. Shah Rukh also said that though he would like to work with him, it would be difficult as they work in different timings. On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan will next be seen in the much-awaited film King. Directed by Siddharth Anand, he will share screen space with his daughter Suhana Khan for the first time. The film also has a star-studded cast including Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Abhay Verma, Saurabh Shukla, and more in important roles. King is all set to release in the theaters in the last quarter of 2026, specifically between October 1 to December 31. Fans can expect to see Shah Rukh Khan in a never-seen-before avatar in the role of a deadly assassin. He will be seen in an intense face-off with Abhishek Bachchan.
