The announcement was made through a teaser video unveiled on social media. Sharing the teaser, Khan confirmed the release date, writing: “#KING is ready to roar on 24.12.2026 in cinemas.”
In the teaser, the actor is also heard delivering a powerful punch dialogue: “Darr nahi, deshshat hoon” (I am not fear, I am terror).
King marks Shah Rukh Khan’s return to the big screen after a long gap. Last year, director Siddharth Anand had unveiled the film’s title through a special reveal video.
The film is produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures.
