Shah Rukh Khan opts out of 'King'; his upcoming projects
What's the story
Shah Rukh Khan was set to star alongside his daughter Suhana Khan in Sujoy Ghosh's King.
It was supposed to go on floors soon, but now, viewers will have to wait longer to see the two generations together.
Per reports, SRK has opted out of King for unknown reasons.
Nonetheless, he is still attached to several projects both as an actor and a producer.

SRK—last seen on the screen in Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki—has Siddharth Anand's big-budget action entertainer Tiger Vs Pathaan in the pipeline.
Also starring Salman Khan as the parallel lead, the film is a part of Yash Raj Films's Spy Universe.
