2026 is gearing up to end on an excellent note, catering to all the mass fans. Just recently, Rajinikanth’s latest, Jailer 2, was released, garnering major success at the box office. Now, with December approaching closer, Shah Rukh Khan’s much-awaited King is all set for its release.
Shah Rukh was very active back in 2023, featuring in two blockbuster hits, Pathan and Jawaan, and ending the year with a critical hit, Dunki.
He was last seen in a cameo appearance for the TV series directed by his son Aaryan Khan, The Bads of Bollywood (2025). The hype is brewing for his next movie, almost three years later, where he will finally star once again in the lead role.
On October 27, 2026, he shared a post featuring his look from the movie in full glory. Since then, some Bollywood celebs have taken to their Instagram stories to share their thoughts on it
Karan Johar put up a story on his socials where he expressed his delight on seeing Shah Rukh Khan display his new avatar in King in all his glory. He said, “And he is back!!!!!! The one and only King!!!!
Ananya Panday was the latest to add a story about the newly released poster, captioning the same with, “Christmas present for everyone.” This is in the context of the day King is scheduled to have its theatrical release in December.
Agastya Nanda, grandson of veteran and legendary Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan, also shared the movie poster on his story with a simple celebratory emoji, showing his excitement for the same. Suhana Khan, who is widely rumoured to be her boyfriend, reshared his story on her profile. The two grew close while working closely in the film The Archies (2023), in which Agastya Nanda played Archie and Suhana Khan played Veronica.
King will be released in the theatres a day after Christmas, on December 26, 2026.
