Bollywood circles are buzzing with unexpected casting news that has left fans both surprised and divided. Deepika Padukone — one of the top heroines in the industry — is reportedly being considered for the role of Suhana Khan’s mother in an upcoming film. While playing young mothers is not entirely new in cinema, what’s grabbing attention is the idea of Deepika, still at the peak of her career, portraying the mother of someone playing a 30-year-old on screen.
The film in question is King, a high-profile project that brings Shah Rukh Khan and his daughter Suhana together for the first time on the big screen. Directed by Siddharth Anand, King is said to be a gritty revenge drama packed with unexpected twists. Industry whispers suggest that Deepika has been approached for a crucial, special role — as Suhana’s mother — though no official confirmation has been made.
Deepika and Shah Rukh have delivered blockbusters together, from Om Shanti Om to Chennai Express and Pathaan, and their on-screen chemistry continues to be a fan favorite. However, this reported casting shift has sparked debate about whether Deepika’s star persona is being prematurely redefined. This comes especially after her powerful portrayal as a pregnant warrior in Kalki 2898 AD, which reaffirmed her stature as a lead action star.
While it’s unclear whether her role in King would be a brief flashback or a more substantial character arc, fans are hoping it doesn’t signal a turn toward typecasting her in older roles too soon. Until the makers drop an official statement, the internet remains abuzz with speculation, curiosity, and a fair share of memes.
