Shah Rukh Khan has unveiled a new poster of King, offering a different glimpse of his character in the upcoming action entertainer. Shared on Tuesday, October 27, the visual features the actor holding a rose between his lips while maintaining an intense expression.
The combination brings a romantic element to the film’s fierce promotional imagery. Rather than revealing the storyline, the poster suggests that emotion and attraction could accompany the character’s action-driven journey.
Qaatil Nahi Aashiq Hoon Caption Sets The Tone
Accompanying the poster, Khan wrote, “Aaj phir yaad aaya… Qaatil nahi Aashiq hoon,” loosely meaning that he is a lover rather than a killer. He also reiterated the film’s December 24, 2026 theatrical release date.
The caption creates a contrast with his rugged appearance and gives the promotional campaign a fresh angle. However, it does not establish the character’s complete motivations or reveal how the romantic thread fits into the story.
King Character Promises A Grey-Shaded Role
Khan has previously described his King character as ruthless and morally grey. While discussing his approach to acting, he referred to earlier films such as Darr, Don, Anjaam and Baazigar, which featured characters outside the conventional heroic mould.
The new poster adds another layer to that description. Its rose imagery points towards a softer or more emotionally complicated side, while the actor’s expression retains the intensity associated with the film’s action presentation. For audiences, the central question is how King will connect those contrasting qualities within the character’s journey.
King Release And Cast Details
Directed by Siddharth Anand, King is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on Thursday, December 24, 2026. The film is produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures.
Alongside Khan, the cast includes Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Arshad Warsi and Anil Kapoor, according to the supplied article.
The latest poster keeps the promotional focus on Khan’s screen persona, using a simple visual contrast—an intense gaze and a rose—to tease the film’s blend of action and romance.
