Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘King’: Release Delayed Until 2027?

The release of Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘King’ is likely to be delayed, possibly until 2027. The film, which started shooting in June, was earlier speculated to release in October 2026. The delay is attributed to an injury sustained by Shah Rukh Khan, who took a break after a highly successful 2023. The injury, affecting his shoulder, has halted filming. The film features a large ensemble cast including Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Jackie Shroff, Abhay Verma, Arshad Warsi, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Raghav Juyal, in addition to Shah Rukh Khan and his daughter Suhana. The delay in production is due to Khan’s need for rest and recovery, as the film incorporates action sequences. The makers are cautious about his health, delaying the shoot accordingly. A release on Gandhi Jayanti 2026 was initially considered, but that is no longer feasible. Filming began in Mumbai, with plans for international locations. The release is expected in late 2026 or possibly in 2027. No official announcement has been made by the production team.
