The new movie of Shah Rukh Khan: When it was floated that Shah Rukh Khan would be sharing screen space with his daughter Suhana Khan in the latest actioner King, Bollywood went into overdrive. Little did the world know that this would signal an event film no less brought about by Sujoy Ghosh, who teams up for this ambitious venture with Siddharth Anand of Pathaan fame and Gauri Khan. This is going to be a milestone project for the Khan family and is bound to build up a lot of frenzy before its release.

King will go on the floors in January, with the first schedule to be filmed in Mumbai, after which the entire unit will shift to Europe for an elaborate shooting schedule. The film’s storyline is set against the dark underbelly of the underworld. Abhishek Bachchan has been roped in for the film as the villain. Its intense storyline, along with the big star cast, is all bound to make King a big attraction for the viewers.

This film is scheduled for March 19, 2026, on the day of Eid. Given that the release date falls on a holiday, a sizable number of people are anticipated to attend the film. King will face competition from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War. March 20, 2026, is when Luv and War, which also stars Ranbir Kapoor, is supposed to be released.

In regards to the release of both films, that is just a coincidence. Several significant festivals, including Ramzan, Ram Navami, and Gudi Padwa, pack the theatre to capacity during the third week of March. This convergence of major festivals has given both films an added money-spinning opportunity while a budding stage for an epic box office face-off at the same time.

Once the release dates draw near, both films will face a direct face-off or a strategic adjustment in their release dates. Whatever the case, it will be a showstopper for movie buffs to see this Bollywood fight.
