Shah Rukh Khan praised Ranveer Singh's blockbuster franchise Dhurandhar for the first time in public, saying he loved both parts. "Loved both the parts….fantastic by the whole team!!!" the star replied during his #AskSRK session on X on September 15. The two-part duology, directed by Aditya Dhar, earned a historic Rs 3,000 crore globally this year.

In the same session, SRK confirmed that his upcoming film King stays on track for a December 24 global release. The Siddharth Anand-directed actioner reunites him with Deepika Padukone and will mark Suhana Khan's screen debut. "Abhi sirf baat karunga Trailer baad mein….film is 100 days away na," he told fans.
The three entertainment outlets all report Shah Rukh Khan's tweet praising both parts of Dhurandhar and his confirmation that King remains on track for a December 24 release. Coverage is uniform straight reporting without any editorial slant: Times Now, Bollywood Hungama, and India TV simply relay the same X post and the quotes. Since the story is a celebrity endorsement and a release date confirmation, there is no government or policy dimension. The implication for the industry is that SRK's stamp on Dhurandhar adds promotional heft to an already historic franchise, while his firm date for King sets a clear marker for the year-end box office battle. Watch whether King's actual December 24 release holds as the date approaches.
