Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan knows exactly how to keep his fans excited. This time, the actor has surprised everyone with a striking new poster of his upcoming action-packed film, King. Unveiled on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, the poster shows SRK holding a rose between his lips while giving an intense look. With romance in his style and danger in his eyes, the superstar has once again reminded fans why he is called the King of Bollywood.
King's New Poster Brings Love and Danger TogetherThe newly released poster presents Shah Rukh Khan in a powerful yet romantic avatar. The rose between his lips adds a charming touch, while his serious expression hints at the dangerous side of his character.
