After the tremendous success of Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan is set to team up once again with director Siddharth Anand for their next project, titled King. This highly anticipated film boasts an impressive cast, including Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Arshad Warsi, Suhana Khan, and Abhay Verma, among others. Recently, excitement has been building around the film’s release date.
According to trusted sources, Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand have officially chosen December 25, 2026, as the release date for King. Earlier, the duo considered two dates, December 4 and December 25, but after careful consideration, they settled on Christmas Day. This decision also means they are avoiding a clash with the film Ramayana, which is expected to perform exceptionally well at the box office. The filmmakers have opted for this Christmas release to ensure a 45-day gap between Ramayana and King, allowing both films to thrive independently.
With this holiday release, Shah Rukh Khan will have a unique opportunity at the box office, as no major Hindi films are scheduled to launch at the same time. Although Avengers: Doomsday will hit theaters a week prior, Hollywood films typically draw in audiences quickly, and a Shah Rukh Khan film is always a major attraction for Hindi cinema fans.
An official announcement regarding the release date for King is anticipated within the next week.
