The film King, starring Shah Rukh Khan and his daughter Suhana Khan, has been generating significant buzz, especially with the recent reveal of Shah Rukh Khan’s new look for the movie. While a fan-made poster for War 2 initially circulated, the new look for King has been confirmed as authentic and is considered the official look for the film.
Film Development and Plot The film’s production has undergone several changes. It was initially conceived as a film for Suhana Khan with a cameo by her father. However, with the change in director to Siddharth Anand, who previously directed Pathaan, the story was completely rewritten. The film is now an original story, moving away from previous rumors that it was a remake of the French film Léon: The Professional. The plot is speculated to involve Shah Rukh Khan’s character as a “disguise” or “imposter” who takes down a major underworld don, drawing comparisons to the plot of K.G.F: Chapter 1.
Cast and Release The film will feature Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role, with Suhana Khan in a cameo. Abhishek Bachchan has been cast as the main villain, with another villain, Raghav, also joining the cast. The official announcement for the film might happen on November 2nd. While the temporary release date is set for October 2 2026, there is speculation that it could be released on January 26 2027, following a similar pattern to the release of Pathaan.
