"This Christmas, fear wears the crown. - King Announcement"

Mumbai, January 24

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has officially announced the release date of his upcoming film King, with an announcement video that comes packed with a powerful punch.

Taking to his social media account, the actor unveiled striking visuals from the film while confirming that King will "roar" into cinemas on December 24, 2026.

The first visual in the announcement video features the bold title ROAR set against a dramatic backdrop. Another frame carries the impactful line, "This Christmas, fear wears the crown," that further hints at the film's larger-than-life scale, making it more intriguing.

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.

The clip opened with a bird's-eye view of an island facility. SRK's voice-over could be heard perfectly synced with the high-octane action sequences.

Going by the voice-over, SRK could be seen as a ruthless mercenary who has even lost count of how many people he has killed, and doesn't even know if they were good or bad.

"100 desho'n mein badnaam, duniya ne diya sirf ek hi naam", 'KING', Shah Rukh was heard saying.

Sharing the initial glimpse of the drama on social media, makers, Red Chillies Entertainment, penned, "Sau deshon mein badnaam, Duniya ne diya sirf ek hi naam-#KING #KingTitleReveal It's Showtime! In cinemas 2026. (sic)."

King also stars Deepika Padukone, Shah Rukh Khan's daughter Suhana Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat.

December 2026 is so far away! The wait is going to be torture. But the teaser looks absolutely epic. SRK in a torn shirt with blood on his face? He's fully embracing the action genre. King of Bollywood indeed.

Excited to see Suhana Khan sharing screen space with her father! That's a huge debut moment. The cast with Deepika and Jaideep Ahlawat is also fantastic. Red Chillies always delivers on scale.

The visuals look stunning, but I hope the story is strong too. Sometimes these big-budget films focus too much on style over substance. With SRK involved, I'm hopeful, but a little cautious. Fingers crossed!

"100 desho'n mein badnaam" - what a powerful line! SRK's voice gives me goosebumps. This looks like a proper pan-India mass entertainer. Booking my tickets for Christmas 2026 in advance! 🎬

Respectfully, announcing a film release date nearly 3 years in advance feels like over-hyping. The industry should focus on finishing projects first. That said, it's SRK, so the excitement is real. Just hope it lives up to the wait.
