Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up to captivate audiences with the gangster action drama King. Siddharth Anand, known for War and Pathaan, is helming the big-ticket entertainer, which marks Suhana Khan’s silver screen debut.

Marking SRK’s birthday, the makers unveiled a song titled Tu Mil Jaaye, yesterday, and it is getting a pretty good response. Now, it is being said that the makers may forgo the teaser launch and directly release the trailer closer to the film’s release.

Before the trailer, we can expect one or two songs as well as per the buzz. Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, the biggie also features Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Jaideep Ahlawat, Arshad Warsi, and Raghav Juyal in crucial roles. The film releases on December 24, 2026.

Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film King is creating massive buzz with its impressive pre-release business. According to news, the Siddharth Anand directorial has been made on a budget of around ₹400 crore, excluding Shah Rukh Khan’s acting fee.

Including his remuneration, the total cost could reach ₹500 crore. The theatrical rights have been sold for ₹425 crore, including ₹175 crore from overseas distribution and ₹250 crore from domestic rights.

Netflix has acquired digital rights for ₹150 crore, while music and satellite rights fetched ₹65 crore and ₹25 crore, respectively, which is huge.

To be in the safe zone, King needs to make ₹665 crore, highlighting Shah Rukh Khan’s enormous market value. King is scheduled for release on December 24, 2026.

Superstar Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 became the first-ever Kollywood film to cross the Rs. 800 crore mark. The industry hit of Tamil cinema is directed by Nelson Dilipkumar.

The film’s Kannada version has now emerged as the highest-grossing Kannada-dubbed film ever, surpassing Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule. Jailer 2 has so far earned Rs. 9.5 crores gross through its Kannada-dubbed version and is looking to close at over Rs. 10 crores.

However, this record won’t last long, as Ramayana is arriving in cinemas this Friday. Given Yash’s presence and massive stardom, Ramayana is expected to dethrone Jailer 2’s all-time record within two days. Ramayana’s Kannada version has already minted Rs. 3 crores through advances, and there are still two days left for the release.
