When Shah Rukh Khan experiments with a role, fans don’t just wait for trailers; they dissect every leaked frame. And with his upcoming film King, one look at the latest on-set photos has the internet convinced: SRK is stepping straight into mafia territory.
SRK in Full Mafia Mode?
A convoy of sleek black cars. Men in sharp suits, weapons in hand. The leaked visuals look like they’ve been pulled out of The Godfather playbook. Fans are already hailing it as “Bollywood’s Godfather,” and honestly, they might not be wrong.
A Family Affair With a Twist
While the makers are guarding the storyline, leaks suggest Shah Rukh Khan plays a mentor to his daughter Suhana Khan, who’s stepping into the shoes of a student assassin.

It’s raw, it’s gritty, and it’s worlds away from his signature romantic persona. Fans are calling it his boldest transformation yet.
Mark Your Calendars
Directed by Siddharth Anand and mounted on a massive scale, King is being touted as one of Shah Rukh Khan’s most ambitious projects. The film is slated to release in 2026, though the exact date remains a mystery.
The Takeaway
From mafia-style imagery to SRK and Suhana’s mentor-assassin arc, King is shaping up to be more than just another Bollywood spectacle. If the leaks are anything to go by, this could be SRK’s darkest—and most daring—role yet.
