**Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘King’ Eyes Gandhi Jayanti 2026 Release, Daughter Suhana to Debut!**

**Mumbai, India** – All eyes are on “King,” the highly anticipated action thriller starring Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan, slated for a Gandhi Jayanti 2026 release. The film marks the big-screen debut of his daughter, Suhana Khan, in a highly anticipated father-daughter on-screen pairing.

The film has already begun shooting in Mumbai’s Mehboob Studios. Sources say the Gandhi Jayanti release date was strategically chosen to maximize box office potential, capitalizing on the national holiday.

“This date aligns perfectly for a grand Bollywood spectacle like King,” a source told Peeping Moon. “Falling on a Friday and coinciding with a national holiday, this date positions the film for a strong box office opening.”

Adding to the excitement is the film’s star-studded ensemble cast, which reportedly includes Deepika Padukone and Rani Mukerji as Suhana’s mothers, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Arshad Warsi, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Abhay Verma.

Khan will play a formidable assassin entrenched in the criminal underworld, while Suhana will portray his student, training for deadly missions. Reports suggest both father and daughter have undergone rigorous physical training for their roles.

Rani Mukerji is said to play a pivotal role as Suhana’s mother, serving as a catalyst for the film’s action and emotional depth. Deepika Padukone will reportedly have a full-length role, much more than a cameo, joining the film as Suhana’s other mother. Abhay Verma will reportedly play Suhana’s boyfriend.

Security has been heightened on set to prevent leaks, further fueling the anticipation surrounding this high-profile project.

Following SRK’s record-breaking 2023, there are high expectations that the actor will deliver yet another 500-crore blockbuster, and this holiday release will only accelerate its path to that milestone, the source added.

“King” is expected to be a major cinematic event, combining high-octane action, family dynamics, and a stellar cast, poised to break box office records.
