King in Trouble? Is Shah Rukh Khan Not Very Confident?

Rumours suggest that King, the upcoming action thriller starring Shah Rukh Khan, may face further delays. Sources claim the actor is unhappy with how the project has taken shape so far.

According to industry gossip, the excitement around King is not matching the hype seen for Jawan and Pathaan. Both films were promoted as SRK’s grand return to the big screen, which helped create massive buzz.

After that phase, interest appears to have dipped. This is largely due to the underwhelming box office performance of Dunki, which failed to meet expectations.

At the same time, Dhurandhar has raised audience expectations. Viewers now expect more than CGI-heavy action and spectacle-driven sequences.

The teaser for King has also struggled to generate strong excitement. This has led to doubts about whether SRK can easily draw audiences back to theatres with the film.

Another concern is the planned release window. King is currently scheduled for December 2026, which places it in direct competition with Avengers: Doomsday.

The Avengers franchise is known for massive box office collections. A clash with such a major Hollywood release is seen as a significant risk.

Because of these factors, Shah Rukh Khan is reportedly working closely with director Siddharth Anand. The duo is reworking the script to strengthen the story and overall impact.

These major changes are said to be the primary reason behind the delay. It remains to be seen whether the revised version of King can meet audience expectations.
