In a surprising turn of events for Bollywood fans, Shah Rukh Khan is set to dominate Eid 2026 with his highly anticipated film King.

Producer Siddharth Anand and Shah Rukh Khan have both expressed their desire to have King hit theaters during Eid, aiming to capture the festive spirit with a grand release. This will be Shah Rukh Khan’s first Eid release since his 2013 film, Chennai Express. In King, Shah Rukh will take on the titular role, while Abhishek Bachchan will play the antagonist.
