The 2026 blockbuster film ‘Dhurandhar 2’ broke many records and wrote a new chapter in the history of the box office. It has emerged as one of the highest-grossing films of Indian cinema, surpassing the earnings of Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Dangal’ and ‘Pathan’. As a result, now ‘King Khan’ himself is coming forward to break the record created by Aditya Dhar’s film. He has officially confirmed the release date of his upcoming film ‘King’.
Shahrukh Khan has been in the headlines for a long time for his action-drama film ‘King’, in which the actor is seen in a completely different style. The actor’s look from the film and its teaser video have already been released. Now, a spectacular new teaser of ‘King’ has once again been shared, in which Shahrukh is seen in a full action avatar. King Khan shared this teaser on Instagram, and in doing so, confirmed the official release date of the film.

The teaser of ‘King’ was shared via Red Chillies’ official Instagram page with the caption: “A roar that can shake an empire.” Along with this, the actor confirmed the release date of the film by posting “24.12.2026”. The film is scheduled to release in late 2026, coinciding with the Christmas festival. After Shahrukh Khan’s confirmation, fans’ excitement about this project has reached its peak.
