As Shah Rukh Khan turned 60, he dropped a surprise that has fans buzzing: the title reveal of his highly anticipated film, "King". With Siddharth Anand as director and Shah Rukh Khan in his not-so-usual role, the promo promises a fresh SRK experience.


Shah Rukh is riding on the massive success of Pathan and Jawan. His role in the latter even got him a National Award after 33 years. The title reveal, which wasn't really a revelation, has amped up the buzz as we got to see silver-haired SRK killing people in style, with the background score screaming of his swagger. Here's everything you need to know about the project.


A new chapter for the King of Bollywood


After the blockbuster success of Jawan in 2023, SRK's next stunt-filled action ride carries the legacy forward. The title reveal video, released on his birthday, introduced audiences to a bold, ruthless avatar of Shah Rukh Khan: silver-haired, bloodied, cryptic.


The film’s tagline, “Sau deshon mein badnaam, duniya ne diya sirf ek hi naam – KING”, set the mood instantly. Khan, clutching the King of Hearts card between his teeth, set against the deck of a ship, a casino-style battle scene hints at international-scale action and slick visuals.


Why are fans hyped?


  1. The Look & Style: SRK’s new haircut, silver hair, and leather jacket combo drew immediate comparisons to Hollywood star Brad Pitt in F1.



  1. Director and Cast: Siddharth Anand reunites with SRK after Pathaan (2023), but this time the scale is even larger. The cast reportedly includes top names: Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, and SRK’s daughter Suhana Khan in her big-screen debut.


  1. The Tone & Expectation: The film’s class is clearly marked as an action thriller of massive proportions. Production houses Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures signal that King is being developed with global appeal in mind, including an international crew, multi-language release, and mega budget.




Anticipated Mega film of 2026


Dropping the title on SRK’s birthday amplified the moment. His new look breaks away from his popular romantic persona and lands in raw action territory. The big names, along with SRK and the newness expected in his movie, make it exciting. The upbeat music and action choreography showcased in the title reveal have amped the excitement to another level. However, we have to wait for over a year till Christmas 2026 for the release.
