# Bollywood Buzz: Shah Rukh Khan's 'King' Locks Christmas 2026 Release – Get Ready for Epic Action! **Imagine the King of Bollywood storming theaters this Christmas, sword in hand, with his real-life princess by his side.** Fans, your wait is almost over – Shah Rukh Khan's highly anticipated action thriller *King*, directed by *Pathaan* maestro Siddharth Anand, is officially eyeing a **Christmas 2026** release, as per exclusive reports.[1][4] After SRK's blockbuster reign with *Pathaan* and *Jawan*, *King* promises to be his next massive entertainer. The first look dropped on his birthday in 2025, sending fans into a frenzy. This ensemble powerhouse stars **Shah Rukh Khan** as a sleek assassin mentoring his daughter **Suhana Khan** in her theatrical debut, alongside **Deepika Padukone**, **Abhishek Bachchan** as the main antagonist, and a stellar supporting cast including Rani Mukerji, Jaideep Ahlawat, Arshad Warsi, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Abhay Verma, and more.[1][2][4] Why Christmas 2026? Makers weighed options like December 4 but smartly skipped it to avoid clashing with the epic *Ramayana*, ensuring a 45-day gap for both films to shine. Production kicked off in May 2025 in Mumbai and Warsaw, with Anirudh Ravichander scoring the music and a whopping ₹350 crore budget fueling the action.[2][3][4] Principal photography is wrapping up, and an official announcement is dropping soon – director Siddharth Anand's cryptic social media teases like "And" and "the date" have fans buzzing that it could be as early as January 20.[5]
