As an actor, Shahrukh Khan’s movie “King” will release this year on 24th Dec 2026. He will be seen in a ruthless, dark and grey-shaded role as a dreaded underworld don named, “King”.
The film also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukherjee, Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff.
Recently, Shahrukh shared a caption “Qatil Nahi, Aashiq Hai” (not a killer, a lover) hinting at Shahrukh’s complex multifaceted personality in the film. It also created a buzz that his song Baadshah from the movie, “Baadshah” would be recreated in the movie.
Shahrukh’s character in the film is likely of a mentor or a seasoned underworld figure who takes in Suhana Khan's character after a tragedy and helps her seek vengeance against the main antagonist Abhishek Bachchan.
The introduction scene of Shahrukh (possibly helicopter/plane entry) is the highlight of the movie. Also the jail fight scene, set in a foreign jail (shot in Mehboob Studios) where Shahrukh takes on a gang of baddies. Besides this, there are chances of a pub-fight scene and a Vijayadashami scene.
The film has a highly technical car chase scene shot in South Africa and the finale which was shot in 18 days jointly in South Africa and Mumbai.
There is a possibility of an abandoned mill fight scene with 10 Russian fighters which is one of the most elaborate action sequences where the stunts are gritty and realistic. The film also has hand-to-hand combat and gun-fu sequences.
King is directed by Siddharth Anand who also directed Shahrukh’s comeback film Pathaan.
