Shah Rukh Khan’s much-awaited film King is fast becoming one of the most talked-about Bollywood projects, with fan anticipation reaching fever pitch across social media platforms.
According to trade analyst Himesh Mankad, timelines are currently flooded with posters, fan edits, and countdown posts, reflecting the immense buzz surrounding the film. Mankad predicts that director Siddharth Anand and Shah Rukh Khan are likely to officially announce the film’s release date by Friday or Saturday.
Industry reports suggest that King is being eyed for a Christmas 2026 release, setting up a high-profile box office clash with Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday. The film’s production is said to be nearing completion, with teams currently shooting climactic action sequences.
King marks the reunion of Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand after the blockbuster success of Pathaan. The film also features Suhana Khan, making it a special project for fans eager to see the father-daughter duo share the screen. Adding to the intrigue, Abhishek Bachchan is reportedly playing the antagonist, while Deepika Padukone is set to appear in a pivotal role.
The gritty, anti-hero tone of King—first hinted at in last year’s striking first-look poster—has further amplified curiosity, with audiences expecting a darker, high-octane avatar of the superstar.
With an official announcement imminent, King is poised to dominate headlines and fan conversations in the days ahead.
