Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Shah Rukh Khan shared a teaser video that offers a deeper look into the film’s intense visual world. The clip showcases the superstar in a fierce, salt-and-pepper bloody avatar, set against breathtaking landscapes and sharp, stylised frames that underline the film’s high-octane tone. Along with the video, SRK wrote, “#KING is Ready to ROAR on 24.12.2026 in Cinemas #ItsKingTime #KingDateAnnouncement,” triggering massive excitement across social media.
The timing of the announcement has added another layer of buzz. The date reveal comes on the eve of the three-year anniversary of Pathaan, the blockbuster that marked SRK’s return to the big screen and began his record-breaking run with Jawan and Dunki. With KING, Siddharth Anand reunites with Shah Rukh Khan, reigniting expectations of another adrenaline-fuelled cinematic spectacle.
Earlier, on November 2, Shah Rukh Khan’s birthday, the makers had dropped the electrifying title reveal of KING. The announcement introduced SRK’s silver-haired, action-driven look, an SRK-special theme track, and the now-viral dialogue, “Darr nahi, Dehshat hoon,” setting off widespread chatter across media platforms. With the release date now locked, anticipation around the film has only intensified.
