Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for a grand comeback with his much-awaited action thriller King. The film, which also stars his daughter Suhana Khan, is currently being shot in Poland, and recent leaks from the set have set social media ablaze. While SRK recently attended the premiere of his son Aryan Khan’s directorial debut The Bads of Bollywood in Mumbai, fans are now buzzing about a major update on King.
A 24-Year-Old Formula ReturnsAccording to reports, Shah Rukh Khan’s entry scene in King will pay homage to one of his most iconic introductions. Fans may recall his helicopter entry in the 2001 blockbuster Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Now, 24 years later, SRK is expected to make an even bigger and more stylish helicopter entry in King.
The sequence is being described as the “longest and grandest introduction” of his career, designed to match the film’s high-octane action theme. Photos from Poland showing Shah Rukh in a salt-and-pepper look alongside Suhana Khan have only added fuel to the excitement.
Fans in FrenzyOn X (formerly Twitter), a fan account shared, “Intro-sequence in #King – Bigger than anything else!” along with AI-generated images of SRK stepping out of a helicopter. Fans were quick to draw comparisons with his Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham entry, with one writing, “Helicopter entry with full swag—King is back!”
Release PlansDirected on a massive scale, King is slated for a Christmas 2026 release. While Shah Rukh is still recovering from a shoulder injury, insiders suggest the makers are determined to deliver a larger-than-life spectacle.
SRK’s Recent Track RecordAfter a brief setback in the late 2010s, Shah Rukh Khan roared back in 2023 with three back-to-back successes—Pathaan and Jawan each crossing ₹1,000 crore at the box office, while Dunki performed steadily. King now promises to continue that momentum, with the added emotional touch of Suhana Khan starring alongside her father.
