Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s King to Clash With These Two Hollywood Movies? Deets Inside

Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand have joined forces again after Pathaan (2023) for the action thriller King. On his birthday, the makers dropped the first teaser, which shows the superstar in stylish action form. Due to several reasons, the shooting for the film was delayed earlier, leaving the audience wondering about the release date. There is a significant update regarding Khan’s movie.

Recently, it was reported that Shah Rukh Khan’s King will hit theatres during Christmas 2026. In recent years, SRK released Dunki and Zero during the same holiday season. So it looks like the wait to see SRK on the big screen is quite long in 2026.

Big Box Office Clash?

But here’s the intriguing part. A week before Christmas, two big Hollywood movies are releasing in theatres—Avengers: Doomsday and Dune 3/Dune: Part Three. Both are big franchises and have a great buzz. With Doomsday, Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans will be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. On the other hand, Dune 3 is the last film from the franchise, which stars Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya. This situation creates a major clash for SRK’s film, King, which is reportedly aiming for a Christmas 2026 release.

So far, these are speculations, and nothing has been confirmed by the director or Khan. Meanwhile, along with SRK, the film also stars Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, and Abhay Verma. It will mark Suhana’s debut on the big screen.
