Shah Rukh Khan Unveils First Look of His Next Film King on 60th Birthday; Promises a Power-Packed Return in 2026
Bollywood’s eternal superstar Shah Rukh Khan turned 60 today, and the celebrations among his fans have reached a fever pitch. Known for his charm, wit, and larger-than-life screen presence, the King of Bollywood gave his fans a special birthday surprise — the first look and title reveal of his upcoming film, King. The 1 minute 11 second teaser, released by Red Chillies Entertainment, shows Shah Rukh in a striking new avatar — gray hair, glasses, and an action-packed demeanor — proving yet again that age is no barrier to style or stardom.
The teaser’s tagline reads, “Infamous in a hundred countries, the world has given him only one name: King.” It marks SRK’s much-awaited return to the big screen after two years. Initially expected to release in December 2025, the film is now confirmed for a theatrical release in 2026, although an exact date has not been revealed. Fans have already flooded social media with excitement, calling King “the comeback of the decade.”
After ruling the box office in 2023 with back-to-back blockbusters Pathaan and Jawan, and following it up with Dunki, Shah Rukh Khan took a brief hiatus from films in 2024 and 2025. Now, he’s back — and this time, alongside his daughter Suhana Khan, who plays a key role in King. With this announcement, SRK has once again assured his fans that the wait will be worth it, as he aims to deliver yet another 1000-crore blockbuster that cements his legendary status in Indian cinema.
