On Saturday, Shah Rukh and director Siddharth Anand officially announced that King will release in theatres on December 24, 2026. The team also shared fresh visuals from the film, depicting Shah Rukh in a bold and intense avatar, hinting at a high-action story.
The film's title was revealed on November 2, coinciding with Shah Rukh's birthday.
On his 60th birthday last year, the makers dropped a teaser from the film, featuring gripping visuals, fast-paced action, and a darker, more intense version of Khan than audiences have ever seen before.
Sporting silver hair, sharp expressions, and a brooding aura, the actor embodied a ruthless and enigmatic persona.
King is produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures.
