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.

Salman Khan is set to turn 60 on December 27, becoming the last of Bollywood’s iconic Khan trinity to reach the milestone this year. With Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan having celebrated their 60th birthdays earlier, Salman’s upcoming birthday completes a symbolic moment in Hindi cinema, marking the enduring legacy of three stars who have dominated the industry for more than three decades.
Ahead of his birthday, Salman took to social media to share a series of gym photographs, showcasing his fit physique and youthful appearance. Dressed in a black vest and blue shorts, the actor confidently posed inside his gym, drawing praise from fans who noted that he looks far younger than his age. His caption, “I wish I could look like this when I am 60! 6 days from now..” quickly went viral, with followers flooding the comments section with admiration.
While Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan marked their 60th birthdays with film re-releases and public celebrations, there has been no official announcement of similar plans for Salman’s milestone. Nevertheless, his social media presence ensured that the moment did not go unnoticed, with fans celebrating the completion of a landmark year for Bollywood’s most influential trio.
On the professional front, Salman was last seen hosting the 19th season of the popular reality show Bigg Boss, where he crowned Gaurav Khanna as the winner. He will next be seen in Battle of Galwan, directed by Apoorva Lakhia, based on the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict between India and China. In a recent interview, Salman described the project as one of the most physically demanding films of his career, underscoring his continued commitment to challenging roles even as he enters a new decade of life.
As Salman Khan prepares to turn 60, his milestone not only celebrates a personal birthday but also closes a significant chapter in Bollywood history, symbolising the lasting impact of the Khan trinity on Indian cinema.
In a monumental moment for Indian cinema, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol unveiled a life-sized bronze statue of their iconic characters, Raj and Simran, at London’s legendary Leicester Square. The statue marks the 30th anniversary of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ), one of the most beloved and longest-running films in Indian cinematic history.
This installation is part of the prestigious Scenes in the Square trail — a tribute to characters and scenes that have shaped global pop culture. DDLJ is now the first Indian film ever to receive this rare honour, standing alongside legendary Hollywood icons who have been celebrated in the same space.
At the unveiling ceremony, the atmosphere was electric as fans gathered to witness history in the making. Shah Rukh Khan expressed his gratitude, saying that such recognition in the heart of London is a testament to how deeply DDLJ resonates even after three decades. Kajol, too, shared her excitement, celebrating the nostalgia and timeless charm of the film.
SRK shared an emotional note: “Bade bade deshon mein, aisi chhoti chhoti baatein hoti rehti hain, Senorita! Thrilled to unveil the statue of Raj & Simran celebrating 30 years of DDLJ. DDLJ is the first Indian film to be honoured on the Scenes in the Square trail. Thank you to everyone in the UK for making this possible. Come meet Raj & Simran when you’re in London — we’d love to see you make more memories with DDLJ.”
The statue will now be a permanent cultural landmark, inviting fans from across the world to relive the magic of Raj and Simran every time they visit London.
The 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI 2025) is set to introduce an exciting new cinematic experience. In a landmark collaboration, the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) and the Entertainment Society of Goa (ESG) have joined hands with mobile digital theatre innovator PictureTime Digiplex to install fully equipped inflatable theatres at the prestigious Kala Academy in Goa.
Known for revolutionising film access in underserved regions, PictureTime Digiplex brings its cutting-edge inflatable cinema technology to one of the world’s most respected film festivals. The 2025 edition of IFFI, scheduled from 20th to 28th November, will witness these portable theatres showcasing an exciting lineup across Inspirational Films, Indian Panorama Classics, Nostalgia, and Children’s Cinema.
For the first time ever, three iconic Shah Rukh Khan favourites — Chak De! India, Darr, and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge — will be screened inside these unique inflatable theatres. Audiences can also look forward to acclaimed films such as Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s 12th Fail, the Malayalam blockbuster Manjummel Boys, Rajkummar Rao’s Srikanth, Rani Mukerji’s Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, Sooraj Barjatya’s Uunchai, Mira Nair’s Salaam Bombay!, Irrfan Khan’s Qissa, and acclaimed classics including Satyajit Ray’s Shatranj Ke Khilari, Vijay Anand’s Teesri Manzil, and Yash Chopra’s Chandni and Kala Patthar.
Children will also enjoy special daily screenings of films such as Gattu, Kaphal: Wild Berries, Banarasi Jasoos, The Prince and the Crown of Stone, and Naal 2.
Beyond the main venue, PictureTime will set up open-air screenings across North and South Goa, allowing thousands of local residents to experience festival films outside traditional theatres.
Sushil Chaudhary, Founder & CEO of PictureTime Digiplex, expressed immense pride in the collaboration, recalling PictureTime’s association with IFFI since their Bioscope Village initiative in 2017. He shared:
“Bringing our mobile digital theatres to a festival of this scale shows how far this technology has come—from remote villages to one of the world’s most respected film events. Our mission has always been to democratise cinema and take high-quality experiences to every corner of the country.”
He added that the 2025 lineup, combining SRK classics, acclaimed contemporary films, and dedicated children’s programming, reflects the diversity and cultural richness of Indian cinema. “With the Kala Academy inflatable theatre and open-air screenings across Goa, we hope to create a festival experience that is immersive, inclusive, and truly celebratory of Indian storytelling.”
The Kala Academy inflatable theatre alone is expected to welcome 1,000+ visitors daily, while each open-air location may draw an additional 300–400 viewers every day — making IFFI 2025 one of the most accessible and community-engaging editions to date.
