The excitement of cinema lovers and trade analysts about Bollywood’s ‘King’ Shahrukh Khan’s much awaited action-thriller film ‘KING’ has reached its peak. Completely rejecting all the speculations going on on the internet about postponement of the film, the makers have confirmed that the film will hit the theaters on its scheduled time i.e. on 24th December 2026, on the occasion of Christmas. Meanwhile, the new and explosive poster of the film has created a stir on social media, in which a new avatar of King Khan is being seen. Sharing the dialogue with his sharp action and killer looks, Shahrukh wrote, “Today I remembered again… I am not a murderer, I am a lover!” This one dialogue has increased the heartbeats of the fans and has made it clear that the film will not only have hair-raising action but will also have a tremendous amount of romance.
‘I am not a murderer, I am a lover’: Shahrukh Khan’s new poster and the suspense of the character
Shahrukh Khan’s look in ‘King’, directed by Siddharth Anand and being made under the banner of Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures, is the biggest topic of discussion at the moment. In the recently released new teasers and posters, while on one hand Shahrukh was seen in a ferocious action mode with salt-and-pepper hairstyle, blood soaked face and holding a card in his hand, now a new visual has emerged with a rose flower pressed in his mouth with the message ‘I am not a murderer, I am a lover’. This contradiction hints that his character in the film could be that of a grey-shaded underworld don who is also an obsessive lover at heart. This new look of the film went viral on social media within minutes and fans have started calling it the ‘biggest box office tsunami of 2026’.
Full stop on postponement rumours: Grand release to be held on 24th December 2026 only
For the last few days, the news of ‘King’ being postponed to 2027 due to delay in film production and pending VFX work was making headlines. But the makers have officially confirmed with the new countdown teaser and poster update that the film will have a massive release on the big screens across the world only on 24th December 2026. The makers clearly say that the shooting and post-production work of the film is progressing as per the schedule and there will be no delay of any kind. This decision has given a big gift to the fans of Shahrukh Khan for double celebration of New Year and Christmas.
Historic box office mega-clash on Christmas 2026: ‘King’ vs Hollywood giants
As soon as the release date of December 24, 2026 is locked, ‘King’ is going to compete with some of the biggest Hollywood films at the global box office. There will be an all-out competition in theaters this Christmas holiday season. While on one hand, ‘King’ will see a star-studded gathering of biggies like Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukherjee, Abhishek Bachchan and Anil Kapoor along with Shah Rukh Khan, on the other hand, Hollywood’s mega-budget films like ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, ‘Dune: Part Three’ and the new film of ‘Jumanji’ franchise are lined up for release in theatres.
