When Ms. Marvel explored desi connection

Ms. Marvel was one of the first MCU series to have a lot of desi connection, including that with the Karan Arjun actor. The show featured his Swades song Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera. Apart from that, the desi connection was Farhan Akhtar's debut into MCU with the very series.

Shah Rukh Khan's confirmed projects

SRK's confirmed projects include Aryan Khan's directorial debut, Ba***ds of Bollywood. The actor, who made a smashing Bollywood comeback with Pathaan and Jawan in 2023, will also be seen in King. Although he is also confirmed for Tiger vs Pathaan featuring him with Salman Khan, there's no update on when would the film actually take off.
