The movie reportedly faced some delays due to SRK’s injury while shooting. As per a report by Mid-Day, ‘King’ might release in 2027 instead of 2026. An insider revealed, “King’s team has hit pause on the shoot. Shah Rukh needs to rest it out for weeks before he can face the camera again. It is an action-heavy film, so the team doesn’t want to take a chance with his health.”
“The team is now chalking out the plan for the next schedule. Earlier, King was being pegged as a Gandhi Jayanti 2026 offering. That is not possible now; it may get pushed by months to have an early 2027 release,” the source added.
‘King’ will reportedly feature a big star cast, including big names like Abhishek Bachchan, Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhay Verma, Raghav Juyal, Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff.
