It’s sure to enjoy a record-breaking run, but will the action thriller write history, clocking the biggest Christmas opening in Bollywood? Scroll below for a detailed box office report!
Will Sidharth Anand + Shah Rukh Khan’s success streak continue?
Shah Rukh Khan was struggling with back-to-back flops. He chose to work with Sidharth Anand for his comeback film after the Zero debacle. Pathaan set new milestones, emerging as his highest-grossing film of all time. Jawan later stole the throne.
The director-actor duo is now collaborating again on King. The excitement is also huge because it will mark SRK’s first collaboration with his daughter, Suhana Khan, who is also making her theatrical debut with the Christmas 2026 release.
Will the streak of success continue after Pathaan? Our hopes are high, but only time will tell if they hit the ball out of the park again.
