Shah Rukh Khan gears up to lead the upcoming action-thriller ‘King’, set for theatrical release on December 24, 2026. Directed by Siddharth Anand, SRK sports a striking silver-haired look and shares screen space with daughter Suhana Khan and Deepika Padukone. Meanwhile, a report revealed updates on SRK’s next project.
Shah Rukh Khan approached for romance
According to Pinkvilla, Shah Rukh has been approached for a high-budget, old-school romantic drama. The newly surfaced script has deeply impressed SRK, positioning it as a strong contender for his next project. This development thrills fans, hinting at SRK’s potential return to the romantic roles that shaped his iconic career. This isn’t a rehash of his earlier roles, it’s an age-appropriate narrative set in a more mature world of love, layered with emotional depth and drama. The film positions him as the quintessential poster boy of romance. SRK is equally excited about both projects, the Farah Khan directorial and this newly offered romantic saga. A final decision is expected by June, once he has had ample time to evaluate both scripts and their development progress. And he continues to meet and hear many other top names from the Indian Film Industry.
Shah Rukh Khan eyes lighter roles
Reports indicate that after back-to-back action-heavy films, Shah Rukh wants to avoid strenuous roles following minor injuries and doctor’s advice. The romantic drama’s timing fits ideally, with SRK eyeing a shoot start post-King’s release, likely in January or February 2027.
