Ram Lakhan Duo Jackie Shroff-Anil Kapoor REUNITE For Shah Rukh's King: Deets Inside
Last Updated: Jackie Shroff and Anil Kapoor join Shah Rukh Khan's action thriller, King, directed by Siddharth Anand. Remember the iconic duo, Jackie Shroff and Anil Kapoor, from Ram Lakhan? Their legendary pairing in the 1989 hit will forever be etched in our hearts. Well, they're back together now, this time for Shah Rukh Khan's much-awaited action thriller, King! Directed by Siddharth Anand, King is already making waves with its stellar cast. This exciting news comes just ahead of the film's shoot, which kicks off on May 20. While the details of Jackie Shroff's role is still under wraps, Pinkvilla had earlier reported that Anil Kapoor has come on board to play Shah Rukh Khan's handler and mentor in the film. SRK essays the role of a trained assassin, and Anil's character will guide him through a gritty world of espionage and high-stakes action. 'There were several actors in contention, but Anil Kapoor was unanimously chosen for the part. His on-screen charisma and experience bring just the right weight to the role," a source close to the development revealed. 'King has been written with the sensibilities of the contemporary theatrical audience in mind," the source added. 'It presents Shah Rukh Khan in a never-before-seen avatar—raw, rooted, and emotionally intense. The action will balance slick choreography with realism, making it a true event film." King is set to be an action-packed thrill ride with not just Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, but also Abhishek Bachchan, Suhana Khan, Arshad Warsi, and Abhay Verma. The makers have also roped in international action directors to make sure the stunts are nothing short of epic. The project is in the final stages of pre-production and is scheduled to begin filming in Mumbai between May 18 and May 20. Following its India schedule, the unit will fly to Europe for a significant international leg. The film is targeting a release window between October and December 2026, and will be shot over 100 days across multiple locations. On the musical front, Sachin–Jigar are scoring the songs while Anirudh will handle the background score. First Published:

Made for Rs 3 crore, this film gave Madhuri Dixit, Dimple Kapadia's careers new heights, script written in only 15 days, became cult classic, earned Rs…, lead actors are…
Often when Bollywood films are being written, directors and writers take a lot of time and effort. One of the biggest reasons for a movie to be a hit is a strong storyline, and this happens when the script is engaging enough. However, what if we tell you that a script was written in just 15 days and while makers had no hope of the movie performing on the big screen, this film became a huge hit? Yes, this may sound mind-boggling, but this is the reality. The movie was a huge hit and featured powerhouses of Bollywood like Madhuri Dixit, Anil Kapoor, Rakhee Gulzar, and more. If you are wondering which movie we are talking about, it is the blockbuster Ram Lakhan. Released in 1989, and directed by ace director Subhash Ghai, the movie featured Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Madhuri Dixit, and Dimple Kapadia in lead roles. Apart from these faces, the movie features late actor Amrish Puri and Satish Kaushik in key roles. Ghai is known for films such as Karz, Hero, Meri Jung, Karma, Saudagar, Khalnayak, Pardes. According to a report by Times of India, Subhash Ghai accepted that the script of the film was written in just 15 days. He further said that he was looking for those actors who were ready to join immediately. He also mentioned that the music and script of the film were even improvised on the set itself. Jackie, who played the lead role in the film, was initially not the first choice of Subhash Ghai. Yes, you read that correct! Instead of that, it was Sanjay Dutt. However, Subhash's experience with Dutt in Vidhata was not very nice. Hence, the director decided to cast Jackie instead of Sanjay Dutt. In the female casting, it was Madhuri Dixit and Dimple Kapadia. The movie gave a new direction to Madhuri's career. Ram Lakhan became a huge hit. It became the second highest-grossing Bollywood film of 1989 and is now considered a cult classic. Made for Rs 3 crore, the movie minted Rs 18 crore.
