Shah Rukh Khan returns to big screens this December with his highly anticipated film, King. Initially, it was supposed to feature SRK in an extended cameo role, with Suhana Khan in the lead role. However, later, the superstar joined the project in a full-fledged role, and as expected, this move pushed the budget to the next level. Mounted on a cost higher than that of Jawan, the magnum opus is chasing a big target at the Indian box office. Keep reading for a detailed report!
What is the budget of King?
The upcoming action thriller has been in the making for over a year, and its cost ballooned due to the scale on which it was mounted. While there’s no official word on the cost, the film was reportedly made on a massive budget of 400 crore. With this, it has become Shah Rukh Khan’s most expensive film ever. It surpassed Jawan, which was made on an estimated budget of 300 crore.
How much does it need to enter the safe zone at the Indian box office?
Keeping the pre-release business deals aside, King is chasing a big number at the Indian box office. Since it was made at 400 crore, the film must earn 400 crore net to enter the safe zone. Anything above 400 crore net will make it a clean success. Below this number, it’ll be considered an underperformer.

Yes, the target of 400 crore net is a big number to achieve, but since Shah Rukh Khan has done it twice with Pathaan and Jawan, King is expected to emerge as a winner as well. In fact, it is touted as the next 500-crore net grosser for the superstar, given the hype around it.
More about the film
King is directed by Siddharth Anand, marking his second collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan after Pathaan. It is produced by Gauri Khan, Mamta Anand, and Siddharth Anand under the banner of Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures. The film is scheduled to release on December 24, 2026.
