In just two days, Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan will mark a significant milestone—his 60th birthday on November 2. While this date has long been a cause for nationwide celebration among his devoted fanbase, this year carries extra weight as the superstar enters his seventh decade. Theaters across India are planning special screenings of his legendary films, and anticipation is building around a potential major announcement for his upcoming project, King.
According to sources close to the production, the filmmakers are preparing to unveil not only the official title but also an exclusive first glimpse of Shah Rukh Khan in King. “The team is confident this reveal will be worth the wait and will significantly amplify excitement surrounding the film,” the source revealed.
Details remain scarce, as Shah Rukh Khan, director Siddharth Anand, and the production’s inner circle have maintained strict confidentiality throughout development. The November 2 launch has been carefully orchestrated, with every aspect kept deliberately hidden from public view. While film industry insiders suggest the promotional material has received clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), this information remains unconfirmed.
King boasts an impressive ensemble cast alongside Shah Rukh Khan, including Deepika Padukone, Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Jaideep Ahlawat, Abhay Verma, Arshad Warsi, Raghav Juyal, Akshay Oberoi, Jackie Shroff, and Karanvir Malhotra. The film is helmed by Siddharth Anand, whose recent directorial successes include Pathaan (2023) and War (2019). Production has already commenced, with several pivotal sequences filmed on location in Poland.
All attention now turns to November 2, when the highly anticipated King announcement is expected to finally arrive. Notably, Shah Rukh Khan has historically avoided timing film announcements with his birthday celebrations. The last exception came in 2015, when he turned 50 and released the second teaser for Fan (2016). A decade later, fans are optimistic that King will herald another legendary era in Shah Rukh Khan’s remarkable career.
