SCOOP: Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand LOCK Christmas 2026 release for King; Announcement on the way

After the historic success of Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand are reuniting for the second time on King. The film rides on a stellar star-cast with Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Arshad Warsi, Suhana Khan and Abhay Verma among others. Over the last few days, there has been a historic buzz around the release date of this tentpole actioner.

Bollywood Hungama is bringing to all the readers an exclusive scoop on King. Reliable sources have confirmed that Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand have locked a Christmas 2026 release for King. "The duo of SRK and Sid were brainstorming several options for their release, and the two in the forefront were - December 4 and December 25. After weighing all options, they have locked a Christmas 2026 release for their action packed entertainer."

The source also informed us further that the film is skipping the iconic December 4 window due to Ramayana. "SRK and Sid are clear in maintaining a gap from Ramayana, which could go on to record a historic business. They don't want to come and hurt the business of this divine saga in any way, and hence have locked a Christmas 2026 release. This ensures a gap of 45 days between Ramayana and King, giving both the films the breathing space that they deserve."

With a Christmas release, SRK will be enjoying an open run at the box office, as no Hindi film is slated to arrive in that coveted window. There is Avengers: Doomsday a week before, but Hollywood films are frontloaded and for the Hindi cinema audience, there's nothing that can top the experience of watching a Shah Rukh Khan film on the big screen."

An official announcement for the release date of King is expected to be made in the coming week.

Prashanth Neel’s action drama Dragon just got its North Indian tadka. Anil Kapoor has joined the cast in a prominent role. Anil is apparently playing the antagonist.

To cast a Bollywood actor opposite an A-lister Telugu actor has become quite the thing. It started with Neil Nitin Mukesh, followed by Bobby Deol in several Telugu films.

About Anil Kapoor in Dragon, the film’s team is quite tightlipped about his role. However, a source close to the development revealed that Anil would be making an appearance at a pivotal juncture in the narrative.

“It is a brief but very important character, and Anil has agreed to do it for NTR’s sake,” the source informed.

Sanjay Dutt spotted with Tesla Cybertruck on Mumbai roads

Veteran Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt was recently spotted behind the wheel of a Tesla Cybertruck on the streets of Mumbai — a rare sight that has grabbed attention from both automobile enthusiasts and cinephiles. The striking appearance of one of the world’s most futuristic electric vehicles alongside one of India’s most iconic stars has ignited discussions across social platforms.

The Tesla Cybertruck — known for its angular, stainless-steel design and electric-pickup performance — is not officially on sale in India yet. The truck seen in Mumbai carries Dubai registration plates and is believed to have been imported using a Carnet permit, a common route that allows vehicles to be temporarily brought into India without paying hefty customs duties and taxes. Once the permit period ends, the vehicle must be re-exported.

Footage shared on social media shows Dutt emerging from the left-hand-drive Cybertruck, confirming that the vehicle was brought in from outside India. With its bold exterior and futuristic presence on urban roads, the Cybertruck is already turning heads among fans and EV communities alike.

The Cybertruck is known internationally for its high-capacity battery options, potent acceleration — reportedly reaching 0–100 km/h in under 3 seconds in top variants — and distinctive haulage capabilities, features that make it a standout among electric vehicles globally.

Speaking of Dutt’s professional front, he is currently seen in Dhurandhar, which was released on December 5, 2025, and The RajaSaab, which was released a couple of weeks ago.

Tiger Shroff and Vidyut Jammwal to star together in Milap Zaveri’s next action romance: Report

Bollywood action stars Tiger Shroff and Vidyut Jammwal are set to share screen space for the first time in director Milap Zaveri’s upcoming film, according to a recent report by PinkVilla. The project, which remains untitled, is shaping up as an action-romance and is expected to go on floors in February 2026.

Sources familiar with the development say the film is designed to leverage the distinct on-screen personas of both actors, who are among Hindi cinema’s most physically commanding performers. The pairing of Shroff and Jammwal has generated significant interest among fans, as audiences have long anticipated seeing the two action stars together.

According to the report, Kirti Shetty has been roped in as the female lead, marking another notable project in her growing filmography. “Kirti Shetty has been roped in as the female lead, which will mark another big Bollywood outing for her,” a source told the portal. “This film is designed as a full-fledged, intense action love story. The idea was always to bring together two real action heroes, and Tiger Shroff and Vidyut Jammwal were the obvious choices.”

Pre-production work is reportedly underway, with planning focused on elaborate action sequences, hand-to-hand combat and stunt choreography tailored to both lead actors. Production insiders say the team is preparing sequences that reflect the strengths of both stars, known for their physicality and action skills.

Backed by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series, the film marks a notable collaboration between two of the industry’s most recognised action performers and a filmmaker whose previous work, Ek Deewaane Ki Deewaniyat, found success at the box office.

For Tiger Shroff, the project is scheduled to follow his commitments on his current films, and industry sources say he will join the shoot soon after wrapping those schedules. Meanwhile, Jammwal’s recent work includes Madharaasi and, outside of Hindi cinema, his upcoming role in the global project Street Fighter.
