Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming action thriller King could receive a major promotional boost in November, with a new report suggesting that a special promotional video for the film may be screened alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Yash’s Ramayana in Indian cinemas. The reported tie-up could introduce the Siddharth Anand directorial to audiences attending one of the year’s most anticipated theatrical releases.
According to Variety India, a specially shot promotional campaign for King is expected to be showcased across a cinema chain in India during the theatrical run of Ramayana, which is scheduled to release on November 5, 2026. However, the promotional arrangement has not been officially confirmed by the makers of either film.
King Teaser May Arrive on Shah Rukh Khan’s Birthday
The report has also fuelled speculation that the teaser of King could be unveiled on November 2, coinciding with Shah Rukh Khan’s 61st birthday. If confirmed, the timing would give fans a fresh look at the actor’s upcoming action thriller less than two months before its scheduled theatrical release.
For now, the reported teaser date remains unconfirmed. Neither Shah Rukh Khan nor the film’s production team has officially announced a launch date for the next promotional video.
King Release Date and Cast
Directed by Siddharth Anand, King is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on December 24, 2026, according to the official announcement from Red Chillies Entertainment. The film brings Shah Rukh Khan back to the big screen in an action-led role and marks another collaboration between the actor and the director after Pathaan.
The ensemble cast includes Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Abhay Verma and Arshad Warsi, among others. The film is produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures.
A theatrical promotional campaign alongside Ramayana could help King reach a wider audience ahead of its release. However, the scale, format and exact screening plans for the reported promotional video have not been officially detailed.
Ramayana Set for November 5 Release
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana Part 1 is scheduled to release in cinemas on November 5, 2026. Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi portrays Sita, and Yash appears as Ravana. The cast also includes Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravi Dubey as Lakshman.
With Ramayana expected to draw audiences to theatres in November and King targeting a Christmas Eve release, the reported promotional tie-up would place Shah Rukh Khan’s film before moviegoers several weeks ahead of its arrival.
For now, the key details to watch are an official announcement about the King teaser, confirmation of the reported cinema promotion, and any further updates from the filmmakers. Until then, the November 2 teaser date and the Ramayana promotional arrangement should be treated as reports rather than confirmed announcements.
