Shah Rukh Khan has confirmed the release date for his highly anticipated action film, King. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the big-budget project is officially scheduled to hit theaters on December 24. The superstar shared this update during a popular interactive session with fans on X.
Fans have been eagerly waiting for the filmmakers to release the movie’s first trailer or poster. Shah Rukh Khan addressed this impatience directly and urged his audience to remain calm. He assured fans that the team is working hard to create a high-quality cinematic experience. He explained that good work takes time and promised that the final film would satisfy their expectations.
When a fan pleaded for an immediate trailer drop, the actor politely declined. He pointed out that the release was still about 100 days away. He stated that he would stick to chatting with fans for now, leaving the promotional trailers for a later date closer to the premiere. His public statements confirm earlier industry reports regarding the late-December launch window.

The chosen release date sets up a major box-office showdown with massive Hollywood franchises. King will arrive in theaters just six days after two huge global releases: Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three. Both Hollywood titles carry immense anticipation worldwide. Marvel movies consistently perform exceptionally well in India, as proven by the strong box-office results of recent superhero films.
