Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan celebrated his 60th birthday in explosive fashion today, shocking fans with the title reveal of his next cinematic spectacle: ‘King’. The makers dropped an adrenaline-pumping title reveal video on social media, showcasing Khan in a fierce, never-before-seen avatar that immediately ignited the internet.
The high-octane action-thriller, directed by blockbuster veteran Siddharth Anand, unites a powerhouse cast, including SRK’s daughter Suhana Khan in her theatrical debut, and his frequent collaborator, Deepika Padukone. Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures, King promises a stylish, massive-scale cinema experience, with its release slated for 2026.
The minute-long title reveal video, shared across all major social platforms, presents King Khan as a merciless force of nature. The teaser opens with a brooding Shah Rukh Khan, sporting a striking new silver-haired look and a cold, intense gaze.
His chilling voiceover dominates the atmosphere, setting the tone for the film’s dark premise: “Sau deshon mein badnaam, Duniya ne diya sirf ek hi naam—KING.” (Notorious in a hundred countries, the world gave me only one name—KING.)
The visually stunning sequence cuts between intense action shots, showing the actor wielding a metal playing card—the King of Hearts—as a lethal weapon. The teaser culminates in Khan delivering a raw, menacing sign-off: “I am not fear, I am chaos.” Fans instantly reacted, calling the look the actor’s most brutal and ruthless since his celebrated action resurgence.
The film marks Shah Rukh Khan’s second collaboration with director Siddharth Anand, following their record-shattering 2023 blockbuster, Pathaan. Their reunion signals an intent to deliver an action film of unprecedented scale and slick, international standards. Anand, renowned for his stylish direction in hits like War and Fighter, took to his own social media to affirm the film’s ambition, promising “a new SRK experience” that will redefine action cinema.
The production synergy is equally formidable. Shah Rukh Khan’s own banner, Red Chillies Entertainment, joins forces with Siddharth Anand’s Marflix Pictures, ensuring the project receives a massive budget and the highest production values, guaranteeing a truly epic feel on screen.
Adding significantly to the film’s massive anticipation is the casting of Suhana Khan, who makes her foray into commercial cinema alongside her father. While plot details remain under wraps, insider reports suggest a compelling mentor-disciple dynamic between the father-daughter duo, set against a backdrop of global crime.
The cast further solidifies its star power with the inclusion of Deepika Padukone. This project marks the pair’s sixth cinematic collaboration, a partnership that consistently delivers blockbuster success (Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, Pathaan, Jawan). Seeing Padukone and Khan, who share an unparalleled on-screen chemistry, return for this high-octane thriller sends a clear message: King is aiming for the very top of the box office charts in 2026. The combination of established legends and the highly anticipated debut of a new star has maximized the film’s visibility and searchability across all online platforms.
The official title reveal successfully dominated social media trends, creating an instant buzz and setting the stage for what promises to be one of the biggest cinematic events of 2026.
