There is strong buzz on social media now that Shah Rukh Khan’s film King which is scheduled to release in 2026 has been postponed to 2027, and the timing of this decision is already raising questions here to avoid clash with big releases from tollywood.
While there is still no official statement from the makers, multiple reports suggest that the release plans have been pushed, and many are linking it to the possible clash with Prabhas’ Fauzi.
A likely box office clash between Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas has been a question of recent industry debate. It seems the producers of King have selected to ease the commercial risks related with such a high-profile clash.
What’s Happening Now
According to the latest updates doing rounds, King is no longer sticking to its earlier expected timeline. The team is said to be looking for a safer release window.
At the same time, Fauzi is still holding on to its planned schedule, which is why the shift from SRK’s side is getting more attention.
Why This Move Matters
In today’s market, even big stars are careful about release clashes. A direct competition means screens get divided, especially in key markets like North India and overseas.
Both films are expected to be big-scale projects, so a solo release always gives better chances at the box office.
Industry Talk vs Official Word
Right now, everything is based on strong industry talk and media reports. The makers of King have not officially confirmed the postponement yet.
But usually, when such consistent reports come out, there is some level of truth behind the change in plans.
What to Watch Next
All eyes are now on an official update from the team. Once the new release date is announced, the full picture will become clear.
For now, the buzz is simple — King stepping back has shifted the spotlight completely onto Prabhas’ Fauzi, and the box office equation is already changing.
