King Movie Actress: Deepika Padukone Confirmed Opposite Shahrukh Khan in Siddharth Anand’s Action Thriller

Arts & Culture, Film & TVBy beatriceco April 7, 2025

King Movie Actress: Deepika Padukone to Star Opposite Shahrukh Khan After the massive success of Pathaan and a relatively quiet spell since Dunki in 2023, Shahrukh Khan is set to return in a grand and thrilling new avatar with his upcoming film King. This action-packed entertainer is being helmed by popular director Siddharth Anand, known for high-octane blockbusters. The buzz around the film has grown exponentially, especially after the casting confirmation of the leading lady — and it’s none other than Deepika Padukone. Deepika Padukone’s Role in King: A Powerful Cameo with Core Relevance As per recent media updates, Deepika Padukone is not just a part of the cast but plays a crucial and emotionally intense role. She will be seen portraying the mother of Suhana Khan’s character and Shahrukh Khan’s former lover, adding both drama and depth to the storyline. While her appearance is described as an extended cameo, her character forms the central emotional conflict of the plot. The story is reportedly a revenge-driven action thriller, and Deepika’s character serves as a turning point in the protagonist’s journey. This is not just another special appearance; it’s a performance layered with substance and sentiment. The Sixth Collaboration of Shahrukh and Deepika This marks the sixth collaboration between Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone after successful films like Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, Happy New Year, Pathaan, and others. Their on-screen chemistry has always been appreciated by audiences, and this time it promises to be even more impactful — combining romance, betrayal, and redemption in a powerful narrative. The decision to bring in Deepika for this role was a mutual one by both Siddharth Anand and Shahrukh Khan. Despite the role not being a full-length lead, Deepika enthusiastically agreed due to the strength of the character and its relevance to the overall plot. Produced by Red Chillies and Marflix Productions The film is being co-produced by Red Chillies Entertainment (Shahrukh Khan’s home banner) and Marflix Productions, known for their quality action-driven cinema. The expectation from King is nothing short of spectacular, with fans eagerly waiting for every new update about the movie. The technical crew behind the film promises high-end action sequences, stylized cinematography, and sleek storytelling — all signature elements of Siddharth Anand’s direction style. Is King Inspired by ‘Bichhoo’ or ‘Leon: The Professional’? While speculations suggest that King draws some thematic resemblance to the 2000 Bollywood film Bichhoo (which was itself inspired by the French classic Léon: The Professional), sources clarify that King is not a remake. However, the tone and emotional depth of the characters will echo similar sentiments — with intense emotional dynamics between the assassin-like lead (Shahrukh Khan) and the young girl (played by Suhana Khan). This connection brings additional intrigue to the film, as it blends international storytelling aesthetics with Indian cultural emotions. Star-Studded Cast with More Surprises Apart from Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, the film also features a stellar supporting cast. Media reports hint at Abhishek Bachchan playing the primary antagonist, marking his return in a powerful negative role. His character is expected to be sharp, cunning, and central to the revenge arc. Also joining the film is Abhay Verma, who rose to popularity through Munjya. He is said to be playing a pivotal role, although the details of his character are still under wraps. Earlier, Saif Ali Khan and Tabu were being considered to play Suhana Khan’s parents in the film, but the idea was eventually shelved, possibly to maintain the emotional intensity of Deepika’s character and her unique bond with Shahrukh’s character. Audience Anticipation Soars With Pathaan 2 already being speculated for 2026 and fans craving Shahrukh’s return to intense action roles, King arrives as the perfect project. Deepika’s presence has added another layer of grandeur and emotional resonance to this high-profile film. Fans of the iconic Shahrukh-Deepika pairing are thrilled, as the movie promises to blend action, emotion, suspense, and romance. The buzz surrounding King continues to grow with each passing day. Whether it’s the ensemble cast, the director’s action-oriented vision, or the narrative promise of drama and depth, everything seems to be aligning perfectly for one of 2025’s biggest cinematic events. Conclusion: King Promises A Royal Cinematic Experience With Shahrukh Khan leading the charge and Deepika Padukone playing a key emotional character, King is gearing up to deliver a blockbuster blend of action and emotion. Siddharth Anand’s direction, coupled with Red Chillies’ production strength, ensures a high-value cinematic treat. Audiences can expect gripping performances, unexpected twists, and a storyline that tugs at the heart while delivering edge-of-the-seat action. With the Shahrukh-Deepika magic returning to the big screen, King is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films of 2025.

New book brings fresh perspective to Settle-Carlisle line

Arts & Culture, BooksBy beatriceco April 7, 2025

Many photographic books about the line have been published and it is probably true to say that the majority are almost entirely made up of pictures of trains, usually of the steam variety and frequently featuring just vintage images of the line.

John’s new book, ‘The Settle to Carlisle Line’, which is published next week, contains its fair share of steam locomotive photographs, but his aim in the work has been to provide a visual portrait of the many aspects of the line as it is today, starting at Hellifield and travelling up to its terminus at Carlisle.

The book looks at the various passenger and freight traffic on the line, from the regular quarry and log trains through to passenger services and steam specials.

It also provides a wider view of the spectacular landscape the line travels through and the railway architecture along its length, including the dramatic viaducts and the beautiful stations. There are also images of local features to be seen, such as the ruins of Pendragon Castle and line-side industry, past and present.

A few historic photos of the line are included that John took during the 1980s, when the line was threatened with closure and was in a run-down state. John has also featured some of the people associated with the line in various ways, such as Friends of the Settle-Carlisle Line volunteers.

John was commissioned to do the Settle-Carlisle line book by Amberley, the publishers, following the success of his book ‘Hill Farming in the North of England’, which was published in November 2023. The hill farming book has been very popular and it features many images of farming and landscape in the Yorkshire Dales. In February 2024 Royal Mail used two of John’s images of the famous ‘Flying Scotsman’ – steaming along the Settle-Carlisle line- on its first class stamps, to commemorate the locomotive’s centenary, and one of these photographs is included in the new book.

‘The Settle to Carlisle Line’ is published by Amberley on April 15 and will be available from all good booksellers. John will be signing copies of his book for sale at The Folly Museum in Settle on April 14, from 1.30pm to 3.30pm.

Why the Tech Giant Nvidia Owns the Future

TechnologyBy beatriceco April 7, 2025

The microchip maker Nvidia is a Silicon Valley colossus. After years as a runner-up to Intel and Qualcomm, Nvidia has all but cornered the market on the parallel processors essential for artificial-intelligence programs like ChatGPT. “Nvidia was there at the beginning of A.I.,” the tech journalist Stephen Witt tells David Remnick. “They really kind of made these systems work for the first time. We think of A.I. as a software revolution, something called neural nets, but A.I. is also a hardware revolution.” In The New Yorker, Stephen Witt profiled Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s brilliant and idiosyncratic co-founder and C.E.O. His new book is “The Thinking Machine: Jensen Huang, Nvidia, and the World’s Most Coveted Microchip.” Until recently, Nvidia was the most valuable company in the world, but its stock price has been volatile, posting the largest single-day loss in history in January. But the company’s story is only partially a business story; it’s also one about global superpowers, and who will decide the future. If China takes military action against Taiwan, as it has indicated it might, the move could wrest control of the manufacturing of Nvidia microchips from a Taiwanese firm, which is now investing in a massive production facility in the U.S. “Maybe what’s happening,” Witt speculates, is that “this kind of labor advantage that Asia had over the United States for a long time, maybe in the age of robots that labor advantage is going to go away. And then it doesn’t matter where we put the factory. The only thing that matters is, you know, is there enough power to supply it?” Plus, the staff writer Joshua Rothman has long been fascinated with A.I.—he even interviewed its “godfather,” Geoffrey Hinton, for The New Yorker Radio Hour. But Rothman has become increasingly concerned about a lack of public and political debate over A.I.—and about how thoroughly it may transform our lives. “Often, if you talk to people who are really close to the technology, the timelines they quote for really reaching transformative levels of intelligence are, like, shockingly soon,” he tells Remnick. “If we’re worried about the incompetence of government, on whatever side of that you situate yourself, we should worry about automated government. For example, an A.I. decides the length of a sentence in a criminal conviction, or an A.I. decides whether you qualify for Medicaid. Basically, we’ll have less of a say in how things go and computers will have more of a say.” Rothman’s essay “Are We Taking A.I. Seriously Enough?” appears in his weekly column, Open Questions.
