Shah Rukh Khan’s King has entered the home stretch. The action thriller is down to one last international schedule, with the team lining up an overseas shoot in August before the film moves into its next phase.
That late-stage push adds another layer of intrigue to one of Hindi cinema’s most closely watched productions. King brings Shah Rukh Khan together with Suhana Khan in a theatrical outing that has drawn immediate attention, while the scale of the project has only grown with every fresh production update. The film’s listed cast includes Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Jackie Shroff and Jaideep Ahlawat.
Final Overseas Schedule In Focus
Box Office Worldwide has exclusively learned that the remaining portion of King is being planned as an international leg. A source said, “Only an international schedule is remaining. Nothing has been officially locked yet, but a team is currently in the US, scouting locations and working out the logistics. They will head to certain countries in South America before zeroing in on the locations. If all goes according to the plan, the unit will head there next month before calling it a wrap.” The confirmed takeaway is clear: the film is in its final phase of production, with only the overseas schedule left to complete.
The location hunt itself is clearly a creative priority for the team. The source added, “Shah Rukh and Siddharth wanted an untapped location for the sequence in question.”
That drive for a fresh backdrop matches the film’s visual ambition. King is described on IMDb as an action epic, action romance and thriller centered on a mentor and disciple navigating a perilous journey, a setup that gives the final schedule the feel of a major set piece within the film’s larger scale.
Shah Rukh Khan And Suhana Khan’s Big Screen Moment
Beyond the production milestone, King carries special weight because it places Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan together in a theatrical feature, giving the film a built-in emotional and generational hook.

The release calendar also gives the film a premium holiday corridor. IMDb’s release information currently lists King for December 24, 2026 in India and the United States, positioning it squarely in the Christmas frame. That release slot also arrives at a time when Khan’s post-2023 momentum has made every new move on his slate a major industry talking point.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Comeback Run Sets The Stage For King
Shah Rukh Khan’s last three releases were Pathaan in 2023, Jawan in 2023 and Dunki in 2023, a run that reasserted his box office dominance after a long gap between lead releases. His filmography pages currently identify King as the next confirmed feature on his slate.
For Khan, that makes King less a routine next project and more the next major marker in a career phase defined by event cinema. With principal photography now nearing completion, the spotlight is shifting toward the official wrap and the film’s march toward its Christmas 2026 release.
