Shah Rukh Khan’s much-awaited action thriller King is reportedly in the final stages of production. According to a report by Mid-Day, the film has completed the majority of its shoot, with only one international schedule remaining before the team wraps filming.

The report states that discussions are currently underway for the movie’s final overseas schedule, which is expected to take place in August. While nothing has been officially confirmed, the production team is said to be exploring locations in the United States and several countries in South America.

A source quoted by the publication said, “Only an international schedule is remaining. Nothing has been officially locked yet, but a team is currently in the US, scouting locations and working out the logistics. They will head to certain countries in South America before zeroing in on the locations. If all goes according to the plan, the unit will head there next month before calling it a wrap.”
