Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for his next big project, the action-packed thriller ‘King’, which is now set to hit the big screens on Eid 2026.
This marks SRK’s first Eid release since the blockbuster ‘Chennai Express’, a move expected to excite his fans globally.
The film, featuring SRK alongside his daughter Suhana Khan in her first major role and Abhishek Bachchan as the lead antagonist, was initially scheduled for a 2025 release.
However, production delays have shifted the shooting schedule, with principal photography now starting in January 2025. The delay is attributed to intricate shooting timelines and elaborate VFX sequences, which the makers are prioritizing to ensure the film delivers a visual spectacle.
Rumors of the film’s production gained traction earlier in July 2024, when SRK and Suhana were spotted in London. Reports suggest they were preparing for high-octane chase sequences, hinting at the scale of the film’s action scenes.
While the project faced minor hurdles, sources close to the production reveal that the team is determined to meet the new timeline.
Interestingly, SRK’s decision to aim for Eid 2026 comes amidst the buzz surrounding Salman Khan’s film ‘Sikandar’, which is locked for Eid 2025. This strategic move allows both Bollywood superstars to avoid a box-office clash, paving the way for back-to-back festive blockbusters.
Fans eagerly await the film, with expectations high given SRK’s successful outings in action-thrillers. Meanwhile, Suhana Khan’s debut adds another layer of excitement to the film, as audiences look forward to seeing her share the screen with her legendary father.
With filming now confirmed to begin in early 2025, all eyes are on ‘King’, as it promises to be a cinematic extravaganza, perfectly timed for the festive season of Eid 2026.
With its new release date, ‘King’ is set to dominate the box office during Eid 2026. Fans can expect an action-packed extravaganza that promises to deliver breathtaking sequences, stellar performances, and a story worth the wait. All eyes are now on Shah Rukh Khan to bring yet another blockbuster to the big screen.
