Shah Rukh Khan film King release and distribution
Overview
The upcoming action thriller King, starring Shah Rukh Khan and directed by Siddharth Anand, has secured a historic overseas distribution agreement worth approximately Rs 175 crore. This deal, involving Dubai-based Phars Films, marks the first time an Indian film has breached the Rs 100-crore threshold for overseas rights alone.
As the film approaches its scheduled worldwide theatrical release on December 24, 2026, it faces significant competition from major Hollywood titles. Upcoming releases such as Avengers: Doomsday, Dune: Part Three, and Jumanji: Open World are expected to overlap in theaters during the holiday window, creating a contest for premium screens and showtimes.
