SRK’s King promo cleared by CBFC, likely tied to Ramayana release
The Story in Brief
The 45-second promotional teaser for Shah Rukh Khan's action thriller ‘King’ has received certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), industry reports say. The promo is speculated to be released on 2 November, the actor's birthday, and screened alongside Ranbir Kapoor's ‘Ramayana’ in theatres. Neither plan has been officially confirmed by the makers.
‘King’ reunites Shah Rukh Khan with director Siddharth Anand and features his first on-screen collaboration with daughter Suhana Khan. The ensemble cast includes Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Deepika Padukone, and others. The film is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on 24 December 2026.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Times of India and Times Now report the same facts: the 45-second promo for Shah Rukh Khan's ‘King’ has received CBFC certification, and speculation links its release to his birthday on 2 November and a theatrical run alongside Ranbir Kapoor's ‘Ramayana’. Neither source adds any independent reporting, both rely on Moneycontrol, Mid Day, Bollywood Hungama and Variety India. The coverage is uniform straight reporting with identical caveats, ‘reportedly’, ‘speculated’, ‘not officially confirmed’, and neither outlet overstates the promotional plans. The only concrete date is the film's theatrical release on 24 December 2026, which both note.
