Shah Rukh Khan Shares Major ‘King’ Update, Says Dec 24 Release Is on Track Despite Shoulder Injury and VFX Crunch

Shah Rukh Khan is indulging in his fans’ questions about the release of “King”. In a new AskSRK session on his X account on Tuesday, the actor answered many queries regarding the upcoming release of the film. 

When a fan asked for an update on the movie’s trailer, adding that it had been three years since they last saw him in theaters (“Jawan” was released on September 7, 2023), the actor invited them to directly enjoy the project and promised that everything would be released before December 24. Another user was curious about any plans to change the film’s release date, calling its Christmas Eve clash with Nagarjuna’s “King100” and Nandamuri Balakrishna’s “Dada” a sandwich. SRK used his wit to call his film the juicy center of the meal.
