Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film King has received a release date. The film is set to arrive in theatres on December 24, 2026, giving fans a major update about one of the actor’s most awaited projects. The announcement came amid celebrations surrounding Shah Rukh Khan, including the SRK Aurangabad CFC gathering attended by politician Imtiaz Jaleel.
The December 24 release date places King in the Christmas holiday period. While details about the film’s story have been kept under wraps, the latest updates have added to the curiosity around the project. King is being described as an original story rather than a remake, with a major twist expected to play an important part in the narrative.
Another key update concerns Ranveer Singh. The actor has been confirmed to make a cameo appearance in King. Details about his character and the length of his appearance have not been revealed, keeping his role surrounded by mystery. His presence adds another connection to the film’s cast alongside Shah Rukh Khan.
King marks another major project in Shah Rukh Khan’s post Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki phase. The actor is expected to lead the film in a role that has generated considerable interest since the project was first announced. However, the makers have so far kept several important details about his character and the storyline away from the public.
The latest announcement gives audiences a clearer idea of when they can expect King in theatres. The film will release on December 24, 2026, while more information about its plot, supporting cast and characters is expected to emerge closer to the release.
The confirmation of Ranveer Singh’s cameo is also likely to generate interest among fans, especially because the actor’s role is being kept secret. For now, the combination of Shah Rukh Khan, an original story, a major twist and Ranveer Singh’s cameo forms the main talking points around King.
With its Christmas 2026 release date now confirmed, King is set to become one of the major Hindi film releases of the year. The makers are expected to reveal further details about the film as its theatrical release approaches.
