Ahead of Suhana Khan's birthday, Siddharth Anand hints at announcement related to her film with dad Shah Rukh Khan, King
Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan's darling daughter Suhana Khan is turning 25 on May 22. While Suhana already debuted in Zoya Akhtar's teen Netflix film The Archies in 2023, this young star is all set for her big screen launch in a full-fledged commercial role, in director Siddharth Anand's film King. And looks like the makers have some announcements to make her special day! Suhana will be playing a pivotal role in the film King, and is sharing screen space with father Shah Rukh Khan.
On Wednesday night, Siddharth Anand made a single-word tweet that read, 'Tomorrow,' with an evil eye emoji. The cryptic post started a fan frenzy, as many interpreted it to mean that the shoot of the much-awaited Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan starrer King is all set to start.
While there are reports that the film might go on floors soon, a few are also expecting a poster or any first look reveal by the makers.
The film also marks the long-speculated and highly anticipated collaboration between SRK and director Siddharth Anand. The duo delivered Pathaan two years ago. SRK followed it up with jawan and Dunki.
Tomorrow. 🧿

Fans are expecting that the first look poster or teaser might be revealed on Suhana Khan's special day. As per a few reports, a Suhana-centric reveal is very much on the cards.
According to reports, King will see Shah Rukh Khan step into the role of a powerful don, an influential figure in the crime world. The story revolves around his character mentoring a young woman, played by Suhana, as she learns to survive in a high-stakes, dangerous world.
Rani Mukerji is reportedly set to reunite with Shah Rukh Khan on screen after a gap of 19 years in King. Rani's role will be integral to the film's emotional arc and she is likely to play the mother of Suhana's character.
Deepika Padukone is also expected to join the ensemble. After films like War, Pathaan, and Fighter, Siddharth Anand has set his bar high and fans are looking forward for an ambitious action-drama. Abhay Verma, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaideep Ahlawat and the Ram-Lakhan duo, Jackie Shroff and Anil Kapoor are also a part of the film King. Arshad Warsi has also come on board.
While Abhay is expected to be seen as Suhana Khan's love interest, Abhishek Bachchan will be playing a formidable enemy. Anil Kapoor will be reportedly seen as an assassin, while Arshad Warsi's role is described as 'sweet, quirky, funny, and cute' with subtle grey shades.
With this stunning star power and a seasoned director, King is certainly a much-awaited film. The film is slated for a grand release in late 2026.

The actress is all set to make her power packed comeback after delivering her daughter Dua. In an official announcement, Jawan director welcomed the Piku actress on board his film tentatively titled AA22 x A6. Although the comments section is filled with fans going crazy over this big announcement, our attention is hooked on hubby Ranveer Singh's reaction. The Simmba actor dropped in the comments section of his wife Deepika Padukone after she dropped the announcement video. He wrote, 'Whuoa!' with a love struck, fire and clapping hands emoji. This reaction itself grabbed around 2K likes. Not only likes, fans even started reacting to his comments and praised the Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani actress calling her an 'icon'. A couple of hours back, Deepika Padukone made a collaborative post with Atlee and Sun Pictures that has broken the internet. The video can see Atlee narrating the story of AA22 x A6 to Deepika Padukone who looks classy in an all-white comfy attire. With whatever little we have seen in this video, one thing is very clear that the actress will be seen in a never-seen-before avatar and we cannot be more excited about it. This is the first time she will be collaborating with Allu Arjun. While she has already worked with Atlee in Jawan for a cameo she made opposite Shah Rukh Khan. But now seeing them come together for a full-fledged film is going to be something else. Well, this announcement has come just days after a big fallout between her and Sandeep Reddy Vanga 's Spirit. The actress had earlier joined hands with the Animal director for Prabhas starrer magnum opus. Unfortunately due to an 8-hour shift demand she made her way out. Apart from the Atlee directorial, Deepika will reportedly be seen in Shah Rukh Khan starrer King. This film also stars Suhana Khan in a pivotal role.

Meghan Markle's viral baby bump clip triggers conspiracy theories: 'It's a moonbump'
Just when you thought royal drama had simmered down, Meghan Markle broke the internet again, and no, it is not because of a scandalous Netflix deal or a new podcast drop. This time, it is her pregnant twerking video that has conspiracy theorists foaming at the mouth. A throwback that broke the internet To celebrate her daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday, the Duchess of Sussex posted a throwback video that was supposed to be heartwarming. Spoiler alert: it turned into a full-blown online spectacle. The clip features Meghan, nine months pregnant, dancing her heart out in a hospital room to Starrkeisha's 'Baby Mama.' Prince Harry even makes a cameo before she breaks into some joyful twerking, all while heavily pregnant. The fakest bump I've ever seen in my life Seems wholesome, right? Not to the trolls of the internet. Moonbump conspiracies take over social media Conspiracy theorists on X (formerly known as Twitter, but still just as chaotic) wasted zero time. They dove in headfirst, accusing Meghan of faking her pregnancy again — with one term trending harder than ever: moonbump. According to some very loud keyboard warriors, her bump was 'too high,' 'too firm,' or just moved 'weird.' Others screamed 'AI-generated!' or claimed the hospital looked like a set built for a Lifetime movie. Markle's bump is 100% fake though -- she's mocking women in labour and taunting the Royal Family with her fraudulent children. Nurses, IV drips, and internet investigators One self-identified nurse went viral claiming Meghan should have had a cannula or IV drip if she was really in labour. Another claimed her ability to dance at full-term was 'superhuman,' clearly forgetting that Meghan was not strapped to a bed but literally just vibing. Screenshots flew. Zoomed-in freeze frames appeared with childish annotations. Someone even tried to point out inconsistencies based on her jewellery and lack of medical equipment. Because obviously, nothing screams 'conspiracy confirmed' like earrings in a maternity ward. Sweet family moments amidst the madness Still, Meghan stayed cool. Alongside the video, she dropped unseen photos of Harry and baby Lilibet, including a barefoot beach stroll and a sweet newborn cuddle. She called the duo the 'sweetest bond' and described her daughter as Harry's 'favourite adventurer.' Even while the name Lilibet still stirs royal tension, with some reports claiming the late Queen was less than thrilled, Meghan is clearly unbothered. She is busy harvesting honey with her daughter and planning potential future businesses together. The internet might be spiralling, but Meghan Markle? She is still out here dancing, glowing, and telling her own story, moonbump or not.
