Dressed in coordinated earthy tones, she caught attention with her radiant appearance during the outdoor shoot. While her flowing outfit subtly masked her baby bump, her presence lit up the set. In contrast, Khan embraced a more rugged vibe, sporting a striped shirt, blue trousers, and bold accessories.

Helmed by Siddharth Anand, King is steadily shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films on the horizon. With a planned Christmas 2026 release, the project continues to build momentum.
