On the occasion of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's 60th birthday, fans received a special treat as the makers of his much-anticipated action entertainer King unveiled the official title and teaser on Sunday.
The film, produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures, marks Shah Rukh Khan's second collaboration with director Siddharth Anand after Pathaan. The one-minute, eleven-second teaser features gripping visuals, fast-paced action, and a darker, more intense version of Khan than audiences have ever seen before. Sporting silver hair, sharp expressions, and a brooding aura, the actor embodies a ruthless and enigmatic persona.
In one of the standout moments, SRK delivers a chilling dialogue, where he says, "Kitne khoon kiye, yaad nahi. Achhe log the yaa bure, kabhi pucha nahi. Bas unki aankhon mein ehsaas dekha ki ye unki aakhri saas hain. Aur mein uski wajah."
The video also features a subtle detail, where Khan can be seen holding a King of Hearts card, which also seems to be a nod to his long-standing title as the King of Hearts both on and off screen. The teaser ends with the actor saying, "dar nahi deshath hu."
As per the makers, the film is also being described as Siddharth Anand's "biggest mass action film yet", promising larger-than-life stunts, scale and storytelling.
