Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand are getting back together for the second time on King, following the historic success of Pathaan. Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Arshad Warsi, Suhana Khan, and Abhay Verma are among the film's outstanding cast members. The release date of this tentpole action movie has generated significant buzz over the past several days.

Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand have secured a Christmas 2026 release date for King, according to Bollywood Hungama. The portal confirmed, saying, “The duo of SRK and Sid were brainstorming several options for their release, and the two in the forefront were December 4 and December 25. After weighing all options, they have locked a Christmas 2026 release for their action-packed entertainer."

The source further added, "SRK and Sid are clear in maintaining a gap from Ramayana, which could go on to record a historic business. They don't want to come and hurt the business of this divine saga in any way, and hence have locked a Christmas 2026 release. This ensures a gap of 45 days between Ramayana and King, giving both the films the breathing space that they deserve."

Concluding the update, the source revealed, “With a Christmas release, SRK will be enjoying an open run at the box office, as no Hindi film is slated to arrive in that coveted window. There is Avengers: Doomsday a week before, but Hollywood films are front-loaded, and for the Hindi cinema audience, there’s nothing that can top the experience of watching a Shah Rukh Khan film on the big screen."

King, which is produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures, is the first time Shah Rukh Khan and his daughter Suhana Khan have worked together on screen. According to rumours, Suhana plays SRK's protégé, preparing for perilous missions, while King views SRK as an experienced killer working in the shadowy underground. Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Arshad Warsi, Abhay Verma, and Raghav Juyal are among the ensemble cast members. It is anticipated that King's release date will be formally announced within the next week.
