Over the last few days, there has been a historic buzz around the release date of this tentpole actioner. #Shah Rukh Khan SCOOP: Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand LOCK Christmas 2026 release for King; Announcement on the way 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.

Abhishek has won the Best Actor Award at the Melbourne Film Festival for your film I Want To Talk.This is pure joy for me. I was literally dancing when the winner was announced. I cant even express how happy I am. Im so glad he won for this film. Right from the first shot we took, I knew he deserved it. I still remember that moment how genuine and real he was. From that instant, I believed he would shine in this role. Shoojit Sircar on Abhishek Bachchans Melbourne win: He melted into the character completely His father must be very happy too? Yes, I received a congratulatory message from Mr. Bachchan. I replied saying that it was all possible because of him, because I had worked with him earlier. Thats how I came to know Abhishek, and thats how I was able to cast him. Honestly, never once while shooting did, I feel I was watching Abhishek Bachchan. For me, he was always Arjun Sen. Was Abhishek your first choice for playing Arjun Sen? Yes, while researching Arjun Sens character, I realized how perfectly Abhishek could fit into the role. The mannerisms he picked up, the personality traits, the way Arjun Sen keeps talking and blabbering Abhishek captured it all. In the film, Arjun says he hates manipulation, yet he is constantly manipulating with his body language. Abhishek connected deeply with that contradiction. It touched him personally, and he immersed himself so completely that we never saw Abhishek Bachchan on set only Arjun Sen. Tell me something about working with Abhishek. When I first met him, beyond being a fantastic actor, I discovered hes a beautiful human being and a thorough gentleman. Hes so knowledgeable. He already understood much about the medical science aspects of Arjuns story the surgeries he went through, his relationship with his daughter. Abhishek absorbed it all into his performance. As a father myself, I could sense how deeply he connected with that element. It made his portrayal even more truthful. Do you feel more people should watch I Want To Talk ? Absolutely. This award is richly deserved, but I really want more people to watch the film. A lot of audiences still havent seen it, and they should. Abhishek has shown what a deeply talented, artistic performer he is in this film. I hope this recognition makes people acknowledge the great actor that he truly is.
