Shah Rukh Khan goes on a drive with his dog, spotted with security convoy while filming 'King'
Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan, who is currently immersed in filming his much-anticipated film 'King', was recently seen enjoying a quiet city ride — accompanied by his dog. The actor, known for his love of privacy, was caught on camera during the outing, much to the excitement of fans. In a video that surfaced online, Shah Rukh is seen seated inside his luxurious Rolls-Royce, casually dressed in a white T-shirt, sunglasses, and a beanie. His furry companion rested comfortably on his lap as the actor briefly peeked out of the car window, flanked by a convoy of security vehicles. However, the moment he noticed paparazzi clicking pictures and fans gathering around, the actor quickly rolled up the windows and drew the curtains to shield himself and his pet from the cameras. This isn't the first time Shah Rukh's dog has caught public attention. Earlier, the actor's pet became a social media sensation when the family returned from a trip to Alibaug. At the time, SRK was seen carrying the pup lovingly as he walked alongside Gauri Khan and their children, AbRam and Suhana Khan. 'King' is one of the most awaited projects in Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming slate. Directed by Siddharth Anand — who previously helmed 'Pathaan' — the film will mark SRK's first on-screen collaboration with his daughter, Suhana Khan. The cast also includes Jaideep Ahlawat, Saurabh Shukla, and reportedly Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Raghav Juyal, and Abhishek Bachchan. Currently under production, 'King' is expected to hit cinemas next year, raising anticipation among fans eager to see the superstar share screen space with his daughter for the very first time.

Shah Rukh Khan Steps Out For A Sunday Drive, His Adorable Pup Steals The Spotlight
Last Updated: Shah Rukh Khan was seen with his dog during a Sunday drive in his Rolls-Royce. It's not every day that Shah Rukh Khan peeks out of his car window—but when he does, even his furry companion steals the spotlight. In a video that's now going viral on social media, the superstar was spotted out for a Sunday drive with a fleet of security convoy following him, accompanied by none other than his adorable pet dog! Dressed casually in a white tee, beanie, and sunglasses, Shah Rukh Khan was seen with his pooch perched on his lap, both of them gazing out through the window of his luxurious Rolls-Royce. The moment was brief but heart-melting. As soon as the actor noticed the swarm of cameras and fans trying to catch a glimpse of him, he gently rolled up the windows and was whisked away by his chauffeur. With Mannat, his iconic sea-facing bungalow, currently undergoing renovation, Shah Rukh Khan has temporarily moved out with wife Gauri Khan and children Suhana and Aryan. Despite the change in address, the King of Bollywood continues to command attention—whether it's at events, film sets, or, as in this case, during an unplanned car moment with his four-legged best friend. As for Shah Rukh Khan's new address, the actor recently rented two luxurious duplex apartments in Pali Hills, Khar West, on a three-year lease. These properties belong to the Bhagnani family, with one apartment, owned by Jackky Bhagnani and Deepshikha Deshmukh, leased to Shah Rukh for Rs 11.54 lakh per month, alongside a security deposit of Rs 32.97 lakh. The second apartment, owned by producer Vashu Bhagnani, is rented at Rs 12.61 lakh per month, requiring a Rs 36 lakh deposit. In a recent chat with News18 Showsha, Gauri Khan spoke about how the renovation of Mannat is shaping up. She said that work in her home is currently under progress, and her renovated house should come around in the next one year. Meanwhile, on the professional front, Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand are set to join forces once again for their next ambitious project, King. They worked together in the 2023 film 'Pathaan'. In King, Shah Rukh Khan takes on the titular role, with Suhana Khan playing a key character and Abhishek Bachchan stepping into the antagonist's shoes. It is produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix. First Published:

Jaideep Ahlawat confirms role in 'King', credits SRK's intervention, says ‘who could say no to him?'
Actor Jaideep Ahlawat has officially joined the cast of the much-awaited film 'King', starring Shah Rukh Khan and marking the on-screen debut of his daughter Suhana Khan. Speaking about the development, Ahlawat revealed that it was Shah Rukh Khan himself who played a pivotal role in securing his presence in the project, overcoming the initial hesitation of director Siddharth Anand. In a recent interview with Lallantop, Ahlawat confirmed that Anand was initially reluctant to cast him due to the limited scope of the role. However, Shah Rukh Khan's conviction proved decisive. 'SRK sir had been thinking about this for quite some time, as far as I know. But Siddharth (Anand) bhai was a bit hesitant to offer it since it was a small role after 'Jewel Thief'. But Khan saab being Khan saab, he said, 'I'll talk to him.' Now, who could say no to him?' Ahlawat shared. Reflecting on his rapport with Shah Rukh Khan, Ahlawat spoke fondly of their first meeting on the sets of 'Raees', where they worked together for several days. Despite their brief interactions — estimated between five to seven occasions — the actor recalled always being made to feel special. 'I really like him. In all my interactions with him — in the five to seven times we've met — starting from Raees, where I shot with him for four to five days, and even after that, whenever we met, he always made me feel like I was the closest person to him,' he said. 'He's a wonderful human being. He has some amazing qualities. Every time I've met him, he's made me feel important,' Ahlawat added. King is one of the most hotly anticipated Bollywood films slated for release next year. Not only does it feature the return of Shah Rukh Khan after a successful run with Pathaan and Jawan, but it also marks a significant moment in his personal and professional life — sharing the screen for the first time with his daughter Suhana Khan.
