Siddharth Anand is directing the movie, marking his second collaboration with King Khan, following Pathaan (2023). Recently, it was reported that Shah Rukh Khan was filming the climax of King, and now, it seems the release date announcement is imminent. For the last couple of days, director Siddharth has kept fans guessing with his cryptic one-word post on X, a tactic he employed earlier regarding the film's announcement.

Now, according to the reliable update, the announcement of the release date will be made on January 24, on the evening of the third anniversary of Pathaan.
