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.

Deepika Padukone
, Rani Mukerji,
Abhishek Bachchan
,
Jackie Shroff
, Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Abhay Verma, Saurabh Shukla, and more in key roles.

To this, SRK replied, 'ye trend na mere baap maa ne shuru kiya tha'. This left everyone, including Anushk, laughing. SRK then continued, 'Isne thodi na shuru kiya tha? Anushka ne shaadi ki to sab shaadi karenge, aise thodi na hota hai. Shaadi to kabse ho rahi hai.' The reporter further pushed, Ranveer-Deepika and Priyanka-Nick are getting married, Shah Rukh Khan immediately interrupted and said, 'sab kare mashallah, bahut acha hai. Main kya karu?
