He wrote, "All the best Abhishek… It is TIME!!!"

The Bachchan Connection


 

It's worth noting that this isn't the first time Bachchan will be sharing screen space with Shah Rukh Khan. Amitabh himself has worked with SRK in several memorable films, including 'Mohabbatein', 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham', and 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna'. Now, it seems the baton is being passed to the next generation.





 

King is currently in pre-production and is targeting a 2025 big-screen release.
