Last Updated: Rani Mukerji is set to reunite with Shah Rukh Khan in Siddharth Anand's action thriller King, where she'll play Suhana Khan's mother in a powerful extended cameo. After the roaring success of Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan and director Siddharth Anand are reuniting for yet another adrenaline-charged spectacle—King. Backed by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures, the film not only marks SRK's return as a gritty assassin but also launches his daughter, Suhana Khan, on the big screen.
