The makers of King, starring Bollywood Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan, planned a schedule in Dubai, but according to a report in Mid-Day, it has been called off due to safety concerns amid the ongoing situation in the Middle East.
The team was supposed to shoot some action sequences in this schedule, and all the necessary permissions had also been obtained well in advance. However, due to safety concerns, the team cancelled the schedule.
Director Siddharth Anand will now shoot those sequences in a studio in Vile Parle. The production design team is reportedly working on creating a desert landscape for the sequence that begins with a chase, resulting in intense combat.
King also stars Suhana Khan, Anil Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Abhay Varma, Arshad Warsi, and Raghav Juyal in pivotal roles. Red Chillies Entertainment is backing this flick, which releases in cinemas during Christmas 2026.
