Bollywood’s two biggest superstars have just made the festive calendar for 2026 and 2027 look absolutely stacked. On April 24, Shah Rukh Khan’s production house Red Chillies Entertainment officially announced the release date of King — and the wait is nearly over. Meanwhile, Salman Khan dropped his own update about the much-anticipated SVC63 with a message only he could deliver.
Bollywood’s Biggest Upcoming Releases —Overview
| Film | Lead Stars | Director | Release Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| King | Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Suhana Khan | Siddharth Anand | December 24, 2026 (Christmas) |
| SVC63 | Salman Khan, Nayanthara | Vamshi Paidipally | Eid 2027 |
King — Christmas 2026 Is Now SRK’s Kingdom
Red Chillies Entertainment dropped the official release date announcement with a social media post teasing multiple avatars of Shah Rukh Khan, captioned with the unmistakable line: “A ROAR loud enough to shake the KINGdom. #KING arriving on 24.12.2026.”
Directed by Siddharth Anand — the man behind War, Pathaan, and Fighter — King is shaping up to be one of the most eagerly awaited action spectacles in recent Bollywood memory. The film features an extraordinarily loaded cast: Deepika Padukone, Suhana Khan (in her big-screen debut), Abhishek Bachchan as the antagonist, and Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Abhay Verma, Arshad Warsi, and Rani Mukerji in key roles. The music is being composed by the versatile duo Sachin-Jigar.
Deepika Padukone, who recently announced her second pregnancy, was spotted back on the King set just days after the news broke — a testament to the film’s tight production schedule. You can read more about that development in our dedicated coverage on TechnoSports.
Salman Khan’s SVC63 — Patience Is the Name of the Game
Salman Khan, in true Bhai fashion, announced SVC63’s Eid 2027 release date with a post that was equal parts self-aware and endearing. He wrote — acknowledging the long wait — that he’s asking fans for the same patience they’ve always shown him, and that details about his current project would follow when the time is right.
SVC63 pairs Salman Khan with the powerhouse Nayanthara under the direction of Vamshi Paidipally (of Maharshi fame), produced by Dil Raju under Sri Venkateswara Creations. The film is a high-octane mass entertainer mounted on a spectacular scale. Eid releases have long been Salman Khan’s signature slot — and this collaboration with one of South India’s biggest filmmakers signals serious pan-India ambitions.
