King new teaser: Shah Rukh Khan sports brutal look

Shah Rukh Khan is back with a bang. A new 17-second teaser for his action film 'King', releasing December 24, 2026, shows him looking rough and fierce: salt-and-pepper hair, a bloodied lip, and a King of Spades card gripped in his teeth.

The clip ends with the text “Picture abhi baaki hai!”, echoing the unforgettable line he delivered in 'Om Shanti Om'.

'King' tagline and countdown with Shah Rukh Khan

As the pulsing soundtrack builds, a gloved hand raises the split card, accompanied by the tagline “King Akela Kaafi Hai!”. The teaser then cuts to a series of stylised shots, including one of Shah Rukh standing on the edge of a striking, snow-covered mountain ridge, with the text “2 months to go!” appearing across the frame.

High-octane action and 'King' title reveal

The teaser continues with a burst of high-octane moments: glass shattering amid red debris, a badly beaten Khan in a blood-stained white shirt, and a slick shot of him in a yellow jacket and shades outside what looks like a prison set. It closes with a bold title reveal for KING, locking in its December 24, 2026 theatrical release.The video was captioned, “The wait gets shorter. The ROAR gets louder #KING in cinemas on 24.12.2026.

#2MonthsToGo.”
