On the occasion of Shah Rukh Khan’s 60th birthday, Red Chillies Entertainment treated fans worldwide with the title teaser of the superstar’s highly anticipated next film, King. Directed by Siddharth Anand, who previously delivered the blockbuster Pathaan, the film is slated for a 2026 theatrical release and already promises to be one of SRK’s most powerful roles to date.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Darkest Avatar Yet in King
The teaser opens with a chilling monologue from Shah Rukh’s character:
“How many people did I kill? I don’t know. Were they good? Were they bad? I never asked.”
As visuals of brutal action unfold, he continues:
“All I remember is seeing fear in their eyes… that this is their last breath. And I was the reason for it.”
He ends with the line that instantly lit social media on fire:
“I am not fear. I am destruction.”
Fans are calling it SRK’s boldest and most ruthless character yet.
SRK to Appear in Two Distinct Looks
The teaser also hints at dual looks for Shah Rukh Khan —
- one with a salt-and-pepper style, adding maturity and intensity,
- and another featuring his classic long-hair avatar, reminiscent of SRK’s iconic action roles.
This contrast suggests a layered character arc that fans can’t wait to explore.
Deepika Padukone Joins as Female Lead
