Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘King’ promo may release with ‘Ramayana’
Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film 'King' may have its first teaser shown in theatres with the release of Ranbir Kapoor's 'Ramayana' on 5 November, according to multiple media reports. TV9 Hindi reports that the teaser, earlier expected on Khan's birthday (2 November), will now debut alongside the mythological epic. Aaj Tak reports that both a birthday teaser and a promotional video with 'Ramayana' are planned.
The promotional partnership with a major cinema chain is expected to give 'King' strong audience visibility, as 'Ramayana' is one of the year's biggest releases. Directed by Siddharth Anand, 'King' stars Deepika Padukone, Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and others. It is set for a 24 December release in six languages.
Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana', starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Raavan, releases on Diwali (5 November).
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets report the same basic development: a promotional tie-up for 'King' with 'Ramayana' screenings. TV9 Hindi frames it as a replacement, saying the teaser is no longer coming on Shah Rukh Khan's birthday and will instead debut with the 5 November release. Aaj Tak frames it as a double surprise, suggesting the birthday teaser may still happen alongside the theatre campaign. Neither outlet cites an official source, attributing the information only to industry sources and a cinema chain. The discrepancy over whether the birthday release is cancelled or additional is the only substantive difference, on the core fact of a promotional partnership, the reports are uniform. The concrete next step is the 5 November release of 'Ramayana'.
