Teaser HIGHLIGHTS
The new teaser shows SRK standing on a mountain top, his hair silver-streaked, giving off a menacing vibe. It quickly shifts to explosive action scenes that leave viewers on edge. This gives a deeper look at his much-awaited mob-boss role.
The earlier teaser had SRK in a bloodied look, holding a King of Hearts card. He delivers a powerful monologue: “Kitne khoon kiye ye yaad nahi. Ache log they ya bure kabhi pucha nahi. Bas unki aankhon me ehsas dekha, ye unki aakhri saans hai. Aur main uski wajah. Hazaar jurm, 100 deshon me badnam, duniya ne diya, sirf ek hi naam. Darr nahi deh shat hoon.”
This translates to: “I don’t remember how many I’ve killed. Were they good or bad? I never asked. I only saw the emotions in their eyes, that this is their last breath, and I am the reason for it. A thousand crimes, notorious in a hundred countries, the world gave only one name. I am not afraid, I am chaos.”
Star power and buzz
King boasts a stellar cast, including Suhana Khan in her big debut, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, and Arshad Warsi. Produced by Gauri Khan under Red Chillies Entertainment, it eyes massive box-office success.
Fans call it SRK’s grand return after three years. With Siddharth Anand’s direction, expect non-stop action and drama. This could be the biggest Diwali-Christmas clash.

Shah Rukh Khan’s Christmas releases include Don2, Darr, Trimurti, Zero, Dunki and many more. Traditionally, SRK has always preferred Diwali as the release date.
