While fans eagerly await Shah Rukh Khan’s return to the big screen, news emerges of a setback for his film ‘King.’ After a successful 2023, Khan took a break, focusing on this project. The film, which started filming in June, was expected in October 2026, according to earlier reports. However, a recent development suggests a delay until 2027. The decision is linked to an injury sustained by Khan during filming. This injury, affecting his shoulder, has halted the shooting process. The film features a large ensemble cast including Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Jackie Shroff, Abhay Verma, Arshad Warsi, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Raghav Juyal, along with Khan and his daughter, Suhana. The makers are prioritizing Khan’s recovery, postponing the shoot to ensure his health and safety, given the action-heavy nature of the film. The initial plans for a Gandhi Jayanti 2026 release are no longer viable. Filming commenced in Mumbai, with plans for international locations. The release is likely to be in late 2026 or 2027, but no official statement has been released by the production team.
