Rani Mukerji and Abhishek Bachchan's Possible Reunion in Shah Rukh Khan's King Sparks Viral Photo Debate
Siddharth Anand's film King, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, and Abhishek Bachchan, is set to release on December 24, 2026. Reports suggest Rani and Abhishek will reunite on screen after 19 years, possibly paired opposite each other. Recently, a photo purportedly from the film's set featuring the two actors went viral, but many believe it to be AI-generated. The makers have not confirmed the image, and previous leaks of SRK and Deepika from the set have also circulated online.
