- Phars Film will release "King" in international cinemas on December 24, opening day-and-date with its India release, where Pen Marudhar holds distribution rights.
- Shah Rukh Khan reunites with director Siddarth Anand on "King," their first collaboration since the 2023 blockbuster Pathaan.
- Red Chillies Entertainment produces "King" in association with Marflix Pictures, with the film billed as a large-scale, edge-of-the-seat thriller.
- Ahmad Golchin called the overseas deal a "major achievement" and said Phars Film will work to make the release a "truly unforgettable theatrical experience."
- Venky Mysore said Phars Film's "extensive international reach and market expertise" would strengthen the film's global prospects.
- Dhurandhar: The Revenge was among the hits in a strong year for the Hindi-language film industry, which the source says "King" is expected to further lift at the annual box office in India and internationally.
Why it matters: Red Chillies Entertainment handed "King" to Phars Film as overseas distributor for a December 24 day-and-date launch, while Pen Marudhar retains India rights — a split distribution strategy for a Shah Rukh Khan vehicle. Venky Mysore said Phars' international reach and market expertise would strengthen the film's global prospects, extending the reach of a Hindi-language star release.
