Shah Rukh Khan to shoot gritty ‘King’ fight scene with 10 Russian fighters in Mumbai - Reports

Siddharth Anand is preparing a major action block for Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film 'King,' with 10 Russian fighters set to join the Mumbai schedule next week. The sequence will be shot at Golden Tobacco Studios in Vile Parle, where the team has reportedly built a large set resembling an old, abandoned mill. The shoot is expected to begin on March 23 and continue for about a week, with Khan leading what the report describes as one of the film’s biggest fight stretches so far.According to Mid-Day, the upcoming schedule centers on a gritty, large-scale action set piece. The report states that Siddharth Anand brought in 10 Russian fighters for the sequence, which will play out inside the specially built mill set in Mumbai. The report says an insider revealed, “It’s one of the most elaborate action stretches planned for the film.” It adds, “The stunts designed are gritty and realistic, and the stunt artists have been prepping for the past few weeks.” That detail points to a physically demanding stretch in 'King,' with the team focusing on close combat and grounded stunt work rather than flashy action alone. The use of international fighters also suggests the makers want the sequence to stand out in both scale and execution. With filming set for a full week, this portion of the schedule appears to be a key piece in the next phase of production.The action schedule is not the only major element on the film’s calendar. The report also says Siddharth Anand will film a special dance sequence next month, adding another large set piece to the movie’s lineup. According to an insider, the film won't focus solely on action. It further states, “It’s designed as a big moment in the film, visually striking and mounted on a scale that complements the larger-than-life tone of 'King.' "That update signals that the film will balance hard-hitting action with a big performance moment. Along with Shah Rukh Khan, ‘King’ also stars Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, and Suhana Khan. With a week-long fight shoot ready to roll and a major dance number lined up next, the film is shaping up as one of the most ambitious projects on Shah Rukh Khan’s slate.
