Actor and filmmaker Saurabh Shukla has revealed the massive scale of Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film King, describing it as one of the most ambitious ensemble projects in recent Hindi cinema.

The action drama, directed by Siddharth Anand, has generated significant excitement for bringing together a mix of industry veterans and rising stars, promising a high-energy cinematic experience when it releases later this year.

According to Saurabh, the film's ensemble is unusually large, including actors from across the industry. "Not just me, King has 70 per cent of the film industry. Every name that is big enough, they are all there," he said, highlighting the scale of casting.

The film reportedly features superstar's daughter Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Jackie Shroff, Jaideep Ahlawat and Raghav Juyal, among others, making it one of the most star-packed films currently in production.

King is shaping up to be a high-octane action thriller led by Shah Rukh Khan in a powerful, rugged avatar, set for a Christmas Eve release on December 24, 2026.
