In June, mid-day reported that Shah Rukh Khan and filmmaker Siddharth Anand were conducting a crucial schedule of King at Mehboob Studios in Bandra, Mumbai, from May 21 (Locked up, charged up, June 17). Now, we’ve heard that the unit has taken a break before it charges ahead for an extensive Europe schedule in the last week of August. 

The next leg of the spy thriller, which reportedly sees Shah Rukh play mentor to Suhana Khan as they lock horns with Abhishek Bachchan’s antagonist, will take them across European countries. A source says, “Locations are currently being locked. The shortlisted cities include Budapest, Prague, and possibly Berlin, where sleek chase sequences will unfold. Siddharth wants these sequences to be stunning, and has apparently told his team to scout for some never-before-seen locales.”
