The newly released poster presents Shah Rukh in a rugged look, with the rose creating a contrast against the visible injuries and intensity in his eyes. The tagline draws on the actor’s familiar romantic image while placing it alongside the film’s action-oriented aesthetic. The reveal has added to the anticipation surrounding the project, which marks his reunion with director Siddharth Anand after Pathaan.
KING is being mounted as an action thriller with an international setting. The film features Suhana Khan in a prominent role, marking another major project for the actor, while Abhishek Bachchan is set to play the antagonist. Deepika Padukone is also reportedly part of the film in an extended special appearance.
The collaboration between Shah Rukh and Siddharth Anand has drawn attention following
the success of Pathaan, which brought the actor back to the action genre. With KING, the filmmaker is expected to explore a different story and visual approach, with action sequences forming a key part of the film’s presentation.
The film is being produced by Gauri Khan, Siddharth Anand and Mamta Anand under the banners of Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures. The production is expected to feature action sequences mounted with international stunt teams, alongside filming across multiple locations worldwide.
KING is scheduled to arrive in theatres worldwide on December 24, 2026, placing it in the year-end holiday release window. The new poster offers an early look at the film’s blend of romance and action, while further details about the story and Shah Rukh Khan’s character remain awaited.
