Aryan Khan calls father Shah Rukh Khan's 'King' as 'BAAP'
Mumbai, January 24
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan, just like his father's millions of fans, seems to have been awestruck by the date announcement video of SRK's upcoming film King.
Taking to his social media account, Aryan Khan shared the date announcement video featuring his father and wrote, "Baap," a word that works as a homonym for both "father" and an expression used to describe the sheer grandeur of the announcement video.
Earlier today, SRK had officially announced the release date of his upcoming film King, with an announcement video that looked packed with a powerful punch.
Taking to his social media account, the actor had unveiled striking visuals from the film while confirming that King will "roar" into cinemas on December 24, 2026.
In the video, Shah Rukh Khan is seen exuding dominance, with his rugged look in a torn white shirt and face splashed in blood.
Sharing the post, the actor wrote on his , "#KING is Ready to ROAR on 24.12.2026 in Cinemas. #ItsKingTime #KingDateAnnouncement".
On Shah Rukh Khan's 60th birthday in November, last year, the makers of "King" had unveiled the captivating title video from the forthcoming drama.
For the uninitiated, King also stars Deepika Padukone, Shah Rukh Khan's daughter Suhana Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat.
Talking about Aryan Khan, SRK's elder son made his debut into Bollywood as a director with The Ba***ds of Bollywood. Aryan received great reviews from audiences and critics alike for his impeccable direction in the first go itself. The show released in September 2025. It also featured a cameo by Shah Rukh Khan.

It's so heartwarming to see Aryan's public admiration for his father. After all the challenges, the Khan family's success story is truly inspiring. All the best for King, SRK sir!
December 2026 is so far away! The wait is going to be torturous. But if the film is even half as good as the hype, it will be worth it. SRK in a rugged avatar is always a treat.
Interesting to see the whole family involved - SRK, Deepika, Suhana, and now Aryan promoting it. Feels like a Khan dynasty project. Hope the story lives up to this massive build-up.
Respectfully, while I'm a huge SRK fan, I feel the promotion for this film started way too early. Announcing a date for a film 2 years in advance feels like overkill. Just my two paise.
Aryan's directorial debut was surprisingly good. Now with SRK, Deepika, and Suhana together in King, it's going to be a blockbuster for sure. The Khans are ruling 2025-2026! 👑
