King promo: ‘Badnam’ Shah Rukh Khan flaunts blonde look; calls himself ‘dehshat’ in Siddharth Anand directorial

Shah Rukh also took to his social media handle to share the title reveal video. He wrote in the caption, “Sau deshon mein badnaam, Duniya ne diya sirf ek hi naam – #KING #KingTitleReveal It’s Showtime! In Cinemas 2026,” announcing that his next will indeed release in cinemas next year. Meanwhile, Siddharth Anand also shared the asset on his X handle with the word, “King.” If one looks closely, he’s been hinting at the film’s title all week, dropping one word every day, prompting users to complete his sentence to guess the film’s title: “Remember there is only one King.”

Co-produced by Shah Rukh and wife Gauri Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment and Jio Studios, King is co-written by Sujoy Ghosh, Sagar Pandya, and Suresh Nair, with dialogues by Abbas Tyrewala. King is touted as a gangster thriller in which Shah Rukh plays a vengeful assassin, while his protégé is played by his real-life daughter Suhana Khan in her big-screen debut.

Khan also shared a poster of the film and wrote, “Darr nahi, Dehshat hoon- #KING #KingTitleReveal is out now. In Cinemas 2026.” Soon after King’s title release, Karan Johar reshared it and wrote, “Is there a word that means “BEYOND BLOCKBUSTER”?? Let’s just settle for JUGGERNAUT!!! This KING is going to RULE!!!” Bipasha Basu wrote, “Wow!!!! Happy birthday @srk Justtttt Fabbbb (clapping emojis) Blockbuster loading.”

King boasts of an ensemble cast which consists of Deepika Padukone, Abhay Verma, Arshad Warsi, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Raghav Juyal. The film is also rumoured to star Rani Mukerji, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Saurabh Shukla, Akshay Oberoi, and Karanvir Malhotra. King will reunite Shah Rukh and Deepika after hits like Om Shanti Om (2007), Chennai Express (2013), Happy New Year (2014), Pathaan, and Jawan. It’ll also star Abhishek as the chief antagonist.

King would also mark Shah Rukh and Rani’s reunion two decades after memorable films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001), Veer-Zaara (2004), Chalte Chalte (2003), Paheli (2005), Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006). It’ll also mark Anand’s reunion with Rani almost two decades after Ta Ra Rum Pum (2007) and his reunion with Warsi over two decades after Salaam Namaste (2005). Juyal, who broke through with Shah Rukh’s production, Aryan Khan’s directorial debut The Ba***ds of Bollywood on Netflix India earlier this year, also has a key role in King.

The filming of King has been taking place in Poland for the past few months, though details of the project have been kept under wraps. At the Locarno Film Festival earlier this year, Shah Rukh expressed his excitement towards playing an age-appropriate role in the film. He also claimed that he’d loose some weight for his action-oriented part in the upcoming movie.
