King: Munjya star Abhay Verma on working with Shah Rukh Khan for the first time; 'Never been so nervous in life’

As an ardent follower and admirer of Bollywood, I can hardly contain my excitement when it comes to the upcoming film, King! The mere thought of seeing the legendary Shah Rukh Khan on the big screen again has my heart racing faster than a Cheetah in the wild. But what truly sets my pulse soaring is the addition of the promising newcomer, Abhay Verma, to this star-studded cast.


Abhay Verma gained recognition through his performance in the horror-comedy film Munjya alongside Sharvari. After its achievement, TopMob revealed that the actor will take on a crucial role in Shah Rukh Khan’s movie King, directed by Sujoy Ghosh. More recently, Abhay has publicly addressed his upcoming project for the first time.

Recently, during a chat with Popdiaries, I found myself in a thrilling exchange with none other than Abhay Verma, the charismatic star of Munjya. When asked about securing my role in Sujoy Ghosh’s highly-anticipated action-thriller, King, alongside the legendary Shah Rukh Khan, he flashed a knowing smile and tactfully evaded the question, suggesting it wasn’t quite the right setting or moment to disclose that fascinating tale. I can hardly contain my excitement as I eagerly await more details about this exhilarating journey!

When asked more questions, he shared that he deeply admires Shah Rukh Khan and regards him not only as an acting talent but also as a remarkable individual. He added, “I sincerely hope all the gossip about his future plans proves to be true,” he said with a smile.

Abhay explained, “To be truthful, I’ve never felt this anxious before. If only I could broadcast to the world, ‘This is taking place,’ ‘I am engaged in doing this,’ and so on. I apologize, but there isn’t much more to share at the moment.”

1. The actor shared that he’s a fan of surprises, revealing an unexpected detail: he hadn’t told his family about Munjya until six months later when he was preparing for the project. A reliable source has shared that the script is finalized and filming will likely start in November 2024.

In the eagerly anticipated movie titled “King,” starring Shah Rukh Khan, will also feature his daughter Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan in prominent roles. In this film, SRK portrays a gritty and rugged action character. The narrative revolves around the unique mentor-protégé relationship between SRK and Suhana Khan, as they confront the antagonist played by Abhishek Bachchan.

As a devoted fan, I’m excited to share that the musical journey and background score for the epic film “King” is being masterfully crafted by none other than Anirudh. Moreover, we have brought together an incredible array of talents from far and wide to create the breathtaking action sequences this movie deserves.
