King: Shah Rukh Khan unveils new poster; turns romantic with a rose amid intense action look

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 Together

The 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.

Sharing the poster on social media, SRK wrote, "Aaj phir yaad aaya... Qaatil nahi Aashiq hoon", which translates to "Remembered again today, I'm not a killer, I'm a lover."

The caption beautifully captures the contrast between love and violence, suggesting that King might offer more than just high-energy action sequences. The poster has added another layer of excitement to the film's growing buzz.

SRK Opens Up About His Ruthless and Grey Character

Unlike his classic romantic roles, Shah Rukh Khan will reportedly explore a darker personality in King. During a special meet-and-greet session on his 60th birthday, the actor described his character as "ruthless and grey."

The film's title teaser, released by Red Chillies Entertainment in November 2025, offered a glimpse of this mysterious character. It suggested that King is a feared former gangster who shows little mercy to anyone standing in his way.
