Shah Rukh Khan’s much-awaited action thriller King is reportedly entering the final leg of production. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the film has already completed most of its shooting schedule, with only one major international leg remaining before the cameras stop rolling.
According to a Mid-Day report, the makers are currently finalising locations for the film’s last overseas schedule, which is expected to take place in August 2026. While an official announcement is still awaited, the production team is said to be scouting destinations across the United States and South America for an action-packed sequence.
Only One Schedule Left Before King Wraps
The report suggests that the majority of King has already been filmed over the past several months. The remaining international schedule is expected to feature some of the film’s most visually striking sequences before production officially concludes.
A source quoted in the report said:
“Only an international schedule is remaining. Nothing has been officially locked yet, but a team is currently in the US, scouting locations and working out the logistics. They will head to certain countries in South America before zeroing in on the locations. If all goes according to plan, the unit will head there next month before calling it a wrap.”
If everything proceeds as planned, the overseas shoot will mark the end of principal photography, after which the film will move into post-production.
Why The Team Is Looking Beyond Traditional Locations
Unlike many action films that revisit familiar international destinations, King is reportedly aiming for a fresh visual identity.
Director Siddharth Anand, known for mounting stylish action spectacles, and Shah Rukh Khan are said to be looking for locations that audiences haven’t frequently seen on screen.
According to the report, both are keen to shoot a crucial sequence against an unexplored backdrop to give the film a distinctive cinematic appeal.
The source added:
“Shah Rukh and Siddharth wanted an untapped location for the sequence in question.”
This approach aligns with Siddharth Anand’s reputation for using international locations to enhance the scale of his films.
A Landmark Film For Shah Rukh Khan And Suhana Khan
Apart from being one of Shah Rukh Khan’s biggest upcoming releases, King also marks a significant milestone for the Khan family.
The film will be Suhana Khan’s first theatrical feature film alongside her father, making it one of the most anticipated Bollywood collaborations in recent years.
Fans have been eagerly waiting to watch the father-daughter duo share screen space, adding another layer of excitement to the project.
Siddharth Anand Returns With Another Big-Scale Action Film
After delivering several successful action entertainers, Siddharth Anand is once again bringing a high-budget spectacle to audiences with King.
Although the makers have kept the storyline tightly under wraps, the film is expected to feature:
- High-octane action sequences
- Stylish international locations
- Large-scale production values
- A mix of emotional drama and action
With Shah Rukh Khan leading the cast, expectations surrounding the film continue to remain extremely high.
King Release Date
King is currently scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on December 24, 2026, making it one of the biggest year-end releases.
If the final overseas schedule wraps in August as planned, the makers will have several months to complete visual effects, editing, background score and other post-production work before its Christmas release.
Fans Await Official Update
While the reported shooting schedule has generated excitement among fans, the makers have not yet officially confirmed the international locations or the filming timeline.
However, if the reports prove accurate, King is now only one schedule away from completing production, bringing Shah Rukh Khan’s next big-screen spectacle one step closer to cinemas.
