SRK goes to sleep at 5 AM
The actor said, "I go to sleep at five in the morning. When Mark Wahlberg gets up, I go off to sleep. And then I wake up about nine or 10 if I’m shooting. But then I will come home at 2 am, take a bath, and then work out before I go to sleep.” SRK also eats only one meal in a day and that has nothing to do with intermittent fasting.
On his sabbatical
Talking about his hiatus at the age of 55, SRK said, "At the age of 55, I took a kind of sabbatical. During the pandemic, there was nothing else to do and I was telling everyone: to learn Italian cooking and work out. I was working out. I built a body. After four years, people started missing me because before that I was too much in everybody’s face," adding, "People said: ‘Will you do a film?’ I said: ‘Only if it’s an action film!’

What Shah Rukh had said about King
He had said, "There are certain kinds of film that I want to do; maybe it's more age-centric, and I want to try something for 6-7 years. I've been thinking about it, and I mentioned it to Sujoy one day while we were sitting. He works with us at our office, he's made some films for us. He says, 'Sir, I have a subject'. The next film I am doing King, I have to start working on it, have to lose some weight, do some stretching." Reportedly, the film will also star Shah Rukh's daughter and actress Suhana Khan.
