Shah Rukh Khan posts a new poster for his upcoming film “King,” directed by Siddharth Anand, and announces it will release in cinemas on 24 December 2026. The image shows him walking amid fire, and the actor captions it in Hindi. Outlets also note that “King” is positioned to arrive during the Christmas week.

Coverage also reflects early public reaction. Free Press Journal highlights that some social media users compare the “King” poster’s aesthetic—such as the fire and framing—to “Dhurandhar,” which stars Ranveer Singh, with multiple posts accusing “King” of copying. Other reports focus more on what “King” signals about the film’s tone, describing it as teasing a romantic side, and restate key cast details, including Suhana Khan and Deepika Padukone.

Across outlets, the release date and poster reveal are consistent. The main difference is emphasis: NDTV and Times of India foreground the announcement and preview feel of the marketing, while Free Press Journal foregrounds the controversy and viewer comparisons circulating online.
