Shah Rukh Khan confirms King release date, addresses suffering injuries during shoot

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan has clarified that his upcoming action film, King, will not see a change in its release date, despite rumors circulating. The actor confirmed on September 15 during his #AskSRK session on X (formerly known as Twitter) that King will premiere on December 24, 2026, ruling out any alterations to the scheduled date.

Fans had inquired about the film potentially being "sandwiched" between other releases, with Shah Rukh reassuring them that the movie would remain at the center of the release lineup. Additionally, a report from Midday suggested that SRK's shoulder injury during the shoot might have led to a potential postponement. However, Khan dismissed this notion in his response, stating that they were aiming to be the "center tasty Tikki."

With King now just 100 days away from its release, fans eagerly awaited the trailer, but Khan encouraged patience, assuring them that the trailer would follow suit as the film is around the corner. The actor also teased the promotional assets being prepared, emphasizing that everything was being done to ensure the movie entertained its audience to the fullest.
