According to sources close to the development, Rani Mukerji has joined Shah Rukh Khan and team on King for a crucial extended cameo. “Rani Mukerji and Shah Rukh Khan have worked together on films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna among others, and are now all set for a reunion. Rani Mukerji has been cast to play the part of Suhana Khan’s mother, and it’s a role which acts as a catalyst for the entire action-thriller in the film,” revealed a source.
The source further added that it’s more of an extended cameo, warranting just 5-shooting days from Rani. “It was a no-brainer for Rani to say yes to Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand’s offer for King.
