Shah Rukh Khan is all set to return to the big screen with his upcoming film King, and the makers have now officially announced its release date. The action drama will hit theatres on December 24, 2026, making it a major Christmas release. With this date locked, King is being positioned as one of the biggest Bollywood films of 2026.
The announcement has brought clarity after months of anticipation and has set the tone for a grand year-end cinematic experience.
SRK and Siddharth Anand Reunite Again
King marks the reunion of Shah Rukh Khan and director Siddharth Anand after the massive success of Pathaan. Their earlier collaboration not only broke box office records but also redefined Shah Rukh Khan’s action-hero image. With King, expectations are naturally high.
The release date announcement was made on the anniversary of Pathaan, which made the moment even more special. It also confirmed that the actor-director duo is aiming for another large-scale entertainer packed with style, action, and drama.

Shah Rukh Khan’s New Look and Action Avatar
From the early visuals shared by the makers, Shah Rukh Khan appears in a powerful and intense look. His silver-haired appearance and rugged styling suggest a mature yet fierce character. The visuals hint at a darker, more serious tone compared to his recent films, while still retaining the mass appeal he is known for.
The film is expected to feature high-energy action sequences set against visually rich backdrops. Shah Rukh Khan’s commanding screen presence remains the centre of the project, with the story built around his character’s journey.
SRK Confirms Romantic Angle
Adding another layer to King, Shah Rukh Khan has earlier confirmed that the film also includes a romantic track with Deepika Padukone. The pairing, already loved by audiences in previous films, is expected to bring emotional depth to the action-heavy narrative.
This mix of action and romance is one of the reasons King is being seen as a complete commercial entertainer rather than just an action film.

Shah Rukh Khan’s Big Christmas Plan
Choosing Christmas Eve for the release is a strategic move. The festive holiday period usually attracts large family audiences, and Shah Rukh Khan has a strong track record with year-end releases. The timing allows King to dominate the box office through the holiday season and into the New Year.
Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment along with Marflix Pictures, King promises high production value, strong storytelling, and a larger-than-life presentation.
