Fans won’t have to wait for the sequel to see the SRK-Atlee magic again. Rumors are swirling that Shah Rukh has agreed to a powerful cameo in Atlee’s upcoming directorial Raaka, starring Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone. Between wrapping up King (scheduled for a December 2026 release) and prepping for Jawan 2, the superstar is ensuring that his dominance at the box office remains unchallenged well into the next few years.
