Fans are buzzing with excitement about Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s highly anticipated film “King.” The film’s release is still months away, but every small and big update related to it is rapidly going viral on social media. Meanwhile, a photo has surfaced online, reportedly a leaked image from the set of “King .” This photo shows Shah Rukh Khan in action, which has piqued fans’ curiosity even further. However, this photo has yet to be officially confirmed by the film’s producers or Shah Rukh Khan.
Directed by Siddharth Anand, “King” is one of the most talked-about films of this year. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan, his daughter Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, and Raghav Juyal in pivotal roles. The film is scheduled to release in theaters on December 24, 2026, and is already generating considerable buzz.
In the viral photo, Shah Rukh Khan’s face appears injured and bloodied. His rugged and intense look is clearly visible in the photo, suggesting he will be playing a powerful action role in the film. Fans have been reacting to this look on social media, with many calling it Shah Rukh Khan’s most dangerous avatar yet. Previously, videos and photos from the film’s set went viral, showing Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone shooting a romantic sequence. These photos made it clear that the pair would once again be seen on the big screen. However, no photos or videos of Suhana Khan’s action scenes have been released yet. It’s believed the makers are keeping her role completely confidential, as this will be her first major theatrical release.
In viral posts on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), several fans have claimed that this photo was actually leaked from the sets of “King .” Some users described it as a “blockbuster moment” from the film, while others said the photo does not appear to be AI-generated. However, these claims have not yet been independently confirmed. Interestingly, the film’s director, Siddharth Anand, often responds to misinformation on social media, but has yet to respond to this viral photo. This has further increased the suspense among fans regarding this photo.
The official promotional campaign for the film “King” hasn’t yet begun, but Shah Rukh Khan’s popularity is such that his films often generate buzz on social media even without any promotion. This is why this alleged leaked photo is rapidly going viral online. It’s unclear whether the viral photo was actually leaked from the film’s set. Fans will have to wait for an official announcement from the film’s producers. But one thing is certain: audience excitement for “King” continues to grow, and the film is poised to become one of the biggest releases of 2026.
