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.

Kannappa: Here's everything about Vishnu Manchu's two-clause deal for OTT rights of Telugu fantasy film
Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after upcoming projects at the moment. The film will be released in theaters on June 27, and ahead of its release, the movie's trailer has already generated quite a buzz. As audiences excitedly await the grand release of the Telugu fantasy film, here's everything you need to know about Vishnu Manchu's special two-clause agreement for the OTT release of the film. Kannappa's OTT release post-theatrical run Most films maintain a four-week window from their theatrical release before the movie makes its debut on an OTT platform. However, for Kannappa, Vishnu Manchu has signed up for a special two-clause agreement altogether. An OTT Play report suggests that the Telugu actor has partnered with one of the leading streaming giants for the OTT release of his film, signing a special two-clause agreement. Kannappa's two-clause-only agreement for OTT release The first clause of the agreement, as signed by Vishnu Manchu, states that if the movie proves to be a hit at the box office, it will be released on OTT only after a dedicated theatrical run of eight weeks. While this is not only more than the usual 4-week window, the actor is said to have set aside a specific amount for this case. However, the second clause of the OTT deal agreement refers to the situation if the film underperforms at the box office. In this case, Kannappa will be released within one month of its theatrical debut. Additionally, Vishnu Manchu is said to have ensured that a significant portion of his investment in the film was recovered from the post-theatrical rights only. However, these are merely reports at the moment, and there is no definite confirmation on the matter from the actor or the makers' sides. More about Kannappa Besides Vishnu Manchu in the lead, Kannappa has also grabbed attention for its special cameo appearances by Akshay Kumar, Kajal Aggarwal, Prabhas, Mohan Babu, and Mohanlal. It is based on the Hindu mythological legend of Kannappa, who was a devout devotee of Lord Shiva.
