Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has unveiled a striking new poster of his upcoming action film King, raising excitement among fans ahead of its theatrical release on December 24, 2026. The film is directed by Siddharth Anand, known for collaborating with Khan on the blockbuster Pathaan.
In the newly revealed poster, Shah Rukh Khan appears in a rugged look, walking through flames with a gun in his hand and a rose between his teeth. The dramatic visual blends the film’s action-oriented style with a touch of romance, adding to the growing anticipation surrounding the project.
Sharing the poster on social media, the actor wrote, “Aaj phir yaad aaya… Qaatil nahi… Aashiq hoon… #KING.” The line recalls the popular title track of his 1999 film Baadshah, bringing a nostalgic touch to the latest promotional campaign.
King features a prominent ensemble cast, including Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukerji, alongside other actors. The film is particularly significant because it marks the first big-screen collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and his daughter, Suhana Khan.
The project reunites Shah Rukh Khan with director Siddharth Anand after their successful 2023 action film Pathaan. While the makers have kept key details of the storyline under wraps, the film’s promotional material suggests an action-packed cinematic experience.
Scheduled to arrive in cinemas on December 24, 2026, King is positioned as a major Christmas-season release. The film’s release date, star cast and promotional updates have made it one of the highly anticipated Bollywood projects of the year.
With Shah Rukh Khan returning to the big screen in a gritty new avatar, fans will be watching closely for further updates, including the trailer and additional details about the film.
