Fans anticipating Shah Rukh Khan’s next big project King will have to wait a little longer, as the film’s production has reportedly been pushed to July–August 2025. Initially scheduled to begin shooting in May, the delay comes due to ongoing script revisions, with SRK himself insisting on a polished screenplay before cameras roll.
Directed by Siddharth Anand (Pathaan), King is not just another action-packed outing—it’s also a highly emotional project as it marks Suhana Khan’s big-screen debut, sharing screen space with her father.
Key Updates:
- 🎬 Director: Siddharth Anand
- 🎭 Stars: Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan (antagonist)
- 🎥 Production Start: Now expected in July–August 2025
- 🎉 Release Target: Eid 2026 (tentative)
- 📝 Reason for Delay: Script still undergoing revisions; SRK wants a top-tier narrative
- 🔍 Deepika Padukone Cameo?: Rumored to play Suhana’s mother, but Siddharth Anand called the report “False”
This delay underscores the high stakes and personal importance of the film for the Khans. With SRK’s signature eye for quality and Siddharth Anand’s action flair, King continues to be one of Bollywood’s most awaited spectacles.
