Cinema VinesShah Rukh Khan’s upcoming action thriller King continues to stir excitement, as new rumours about its plot and characters pop up almost weekly. One of the latest whispers suggested that actor Raghav Juyal would portray the younger version of a principal villain in the film. Juyal has now denied the claim, calling the reports “completely false.”
During a recent interview with Movie Talkies, Juyal addressed the speculation directly. He said, “Yeh bilkul, sarasar jhoot bol rahe hai. Kyunki, aisa kuch nahi hai. It’s a very different thing. It’s a very unique plot.” The actor added that viewers will only learn the truth when they see the film. “Woh jab film dekhenge aap, tabhi aapko uska ilm hoga ki kya hai woh kya nahi,” he explained.
While Juyal refused to reveal specifics about his character, he hinted that both the film’s narrative and his appearance will surprise audiences. “It’s a very unique film. The way they are taking the shots. Siddharth sir jo kar rahe hai isme, it’s a very different thing. Mera look bhi, jaise har film mein alag hota hai, isme bhi bilkul different hai,” he said.
Director Siddharth Anand is reportedly aiming for a visually and narratively distinct experience in King, which also stars Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Jaideep Ahlawat, Jackie Shroff, and Juyal himself. The film is slated for release on December 24, 2026, making it one of the most anticipated Bollywood releases of the year.
