Shah Rukh Khan’s King is leaning hard into scale, and the latest shoot update makes it clear why the Siddharth Anand directorial is being positioned as a full-blown action spectacle. As of March 6, 2026, the film has just wrapped a demanding action schedule featuring SRK and Suhana Khan, and the set-up is tailor-made for big-screen adrenaline.
The father-daughter pairing is the headline hook of King, but the production is also building moments that feel designed for massy whistles, with colour, crowds and chaos baked into the choreography.
The Latest Update
Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan recently completed an eight-day action schedule for King at Ellora Studios in Bhayandar. The sequence was mounted across eight nights and staged against the backdrop of Vijayadashami celebrations, with an elaborate set created to recreate the energy of a procession.
A source close to the production described the staging in detail: “The team recreated the scale and energy of a Vijayadashami procession with drums, colours, and the frenzy that is seen on the immersion day. Shah Rukh and Suhana shot with a huge crowd, consisting of hundreds of background performers, across eight nights. Suhana also performed several stunts.”
That detail is particularly notable because it underlines how King is not treating Suhana’s presence as a cameo-style novelty. The shoot suggests she is physically in the thick of the action, sharing frame space with SRK amid controlled mayhem and large-scale crowd work.
King is set for a theatrical release on December 24, 2026.
What We Know About King So Far
Directed by Siddharth Anand, King is mounted as an action thriller and marks his reunion with Shah Rukh Khan after Pathaan (2023). The film is being produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures.
The cast includes Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Rani Mukerji, among others. The film’s release date has been officially announced for December 24, 2026, placing it firmly in the big Christmas corridor.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Shah Rukh Khan last had a defining theatrical run in 2023 with Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki, a streak that reinforced his dominance across genres, from spy-action to mass action to drama. He has not had a theatrical release in 2024 or 2025, making King his next confirmed big-screen feature.
For Suhana Khan, King follows her acting debut in Zoya Akhtar’s Netflix film The Archies (2023). With King, she takes a major leap into a large-scale theatrical action film, and this newly wrapped schedule signals a more hands-on, stunt-forward role than many expected from an early-career outing.
