Watch: Shah Rukh Khan's Special Request For Allu Arjun, Yash And Mahesh Babu
Shah Rukh Khan has a special request for his “friends” Yash, Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun and Prabhas.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has a massive popularity in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Hence, it is no surprise that an event featuring King Khan at the Global Village in Dubai was attended by several thousands of people. Pictures and videos from the event are now going viral on social media. At one point, SRK addressed the crowd, saying he has several friends within the South film industry, such as Allu Arjun, Prabhas, Yash, Thalapathy Vijay, Mahesh Babu, and more.
“I have a lot of friends (from south India). Allu Arjun, Prabhas, Ram Charan, Yash, Mahesh Babu, Vijay Thalapathy, Rajini (kanth) sir, Kamal (Haasan) sir,” he said.
It was then that he had a special request for all of these stars, saying they all need to stop dancing so fast as it is hard for him to keep up with them.
“But I have one request for them. They need to stop dancing so fast; it’s hard for me to keep up with them,” SRK added.

At the event, SRK also confirmed that Siddharth Anand will be directing his upcoming film ‘King’, which also stars Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Abhay Verma. The movie was earlier supposed to be helmed by Sujoy Ghosh.
As per SRK, the film will go on floors in March 2025.
“I'm not just shooting it here; I'm shooting it in Mumbai now when I go back in a couple of months. My director, who is Siddharth Anand, is very strict,” said SRK.
“He made Pathaan. So he is very strict. He said, 'Don't tell people about the film, what you are doing in it.' So I can't tell you but I can assure you it will entertain you, you will have fun,” he added.
‘King’ is being jointly bankrolled by SRK's Red Chillies Entertainment and Siddharth Anand's Marflix Pictures.
SRK was last seen in Rajkumar Hirani's 'Dunki'. The superstar had delivered three hits in 2023 in the form of 'Pathaan', 'Jawan', and 'Dunki'.
‘Pathaan’ marked Shah Rukh Khan's return to the big screen after a gap of more than four years after his 2018 film ‘Zero’ tanked at the box office.
