Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘King’ Eyes ‘Dhurandhar 2’ Record, Sells Rights for ₹250 Crore

Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'King' is scheduled to hit the silver screen at the end of 2026. Produced with a staggering budget of ₹400 crore, the film is positioned to break the box office records currently held by 'Dhurandhar 2'. The movie has already achieved a significant financial milestone before its release by selling its Pan-India theatrical distribution rights for ₹250 crore, reflecting the immense market confidence in the project.

Shah Rukh and Suhana Khan’s First On-Screen Collaboration

A major highlight of 'King' is the debut collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and his daughter, Suhana Khan, who will be seen in a pivotal role, while the project has generated immense public interest as fans eagerly await the father-daughter duo on the big screen. The film's production has been underway for a long time and is currently progressing at a rapid pace, while a teaser was recently released, offering a glimpse into Shah Rukh Khan's intense character, further fueling the anticipation.

Challenging the Record of 'Dhurandhar 2'

Currently, 'Dhurandhar 2' holds the title of the biggest film of 2026, having earned more than ₹1700 crore worldwide. However, 'King' is expected to challenge this milestone. Given Shah Rukh Khan's track record with blockbusters like 'Jawan' and 'Pathaan', which shattered numerous box office records, expectations for 'King' are exceptionally high, while the massive ₹400 crore budget indicates the scale of the production aimed at surpassing existing benchmarks.

Action-Packed Narrative and Release Schedule

The narrative of 'King' is centered around high-octane action, as evidenced by the promotional footage and the teaser, while the film promises to deliver a grand cinematic experience with intense sequences. 'King' is slated for a grand theatrical release around the Christmas period of 2026. It remains to be seen how much impact this Shah Rukh Khan starrer will make at the global box office upon its arrival.
