Shah Rukh Khan turned 60 on November 2, 2025, and as fans eagerly waited for a big surprise, he delivered in true superstar fashion. The much-anticipated teaser of his upcoming action film King, directed by Siddharth Anand (of Pathaan fame), finally dropped — and it’s every bit the adrenaline rush fans had hoped for. ‘King’ Title Glimpse: ‘Darr Nahi Dahshat Hoon’! Shah Rukh Khan Is on a Bloody Rampage in First Promo of Siddharth Anand’s Upcoming Actioner (Watch Video).

The title glimpse showcases SRK in an electrifying new avatar, complete with a silver mane and lethal swagger. The teaser proudly declares itself “A New Shah Rukh Khan Experience” - and judging by the visuals, it’s not exaggerating.

Move Over Vikram Rathore... 'King' Has Arrived!

Packed with jaw-dropping action sequences, the teaser captures SRK at his most menacing. In one standout moment, his character uses a thug’s broken mouth as a holder to fire his shotgun - a savage, cinematic flex that instantly sets the tone.

SRK’s gravelly narration overlays the chaos: he admits to having killed countless people without knowing if they were good or bad, only remembering the fear in their eyes. “I’ve committed a thousand murders,” he says, “and am wanted in a hundred countries.” The world, he adds, knows him simply as King.

He caps it off with a spine-chilling declaration - “Darr nahi, dahshat hoon” (I am not fear, but terror itself) - as Anirudh Ravichander’s pulsating rap score kicks in, amplifying the madness. ‘King’: From Deepika Padukone to Anil Kapoor, All Stars Rumoured To Join Shah Rukh Khan’s Next and Their Past Movies With SRK.

And yes, King even comes with a literal calling card - a King of Hearts playing card, which he wields as a weapon à la Gambit from X-Men.
