Shah Rukh Khan's King is directed by Siddharth Anand, who gave the actor his first ₹1000-crore blockbuster with Pathaan. Shah Rukh Khan's King reportedly secures a ₹175 crore overseas rights deal with Phars Films, drawing attention ahead of its release. No Indian film has previously fetched an overseas MG of even Rs. 100 crore, and here King has gone well over that.
