Siddharth Anand gearing up Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘King’ for Christmas 2026
Following a series of cryptic social‑media posts over the weekend, director Siddharth Anand is expected to finalise a Christmas 2026 release for Shah Rukh Khan’s highly anticipated film ‘King’.
According to industry sources, Shah Rukh Khan and Anand had been considering multiple dates, with 4 December and 25 December emerging as the strongest contenders. After extensive discussions, the team is understood to have settled on a Christmas Day release for the action‑packed entertainer.
A source suggests that the decision was influenced by the release of ‘Ramayana’, which is expected to dominate the box office. The filmmakers reportedly wished to avoid any clash with the epic production. The source explained that both Shah Rukh Khan and Anand were keen to maintain a respectful distance from ‘Ramayana’, which is anticipated to deliver historic business. Opting for Christmas ensures a 45‑day gap between the two major releases, allowing each film the space it needs to maximise its theatrical run.
