King 2026

King is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language action thriller movie directed by Siddharth Anand, the filmmaker behind blockbuster action films like Pathaan and War. Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures, the film is being developed as one of the biggest Bollywood productions of 2026. The movie stars Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role alongside Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Abhishek Bachchan.

The film has become one of the most anticipated Bollywood releases because it marks the first big-screen collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and his daughter Suhana Khan. With large-scale action sequences, international filming locations, and an ensemble cast, King is being promoted as a global action entertainer with a cinematic scale rarely seen in Indian cinema.
