Aneet Padda's Shakti Shalini and Shah Rukh Khan's King Set for December 24 Release
Aneet Padda's horror-comedy Shakti Shalini is confirmed to release on December 24, 2026, coinciding with Shah Rukh Khan's highly anticipated film King. Earlier reports suggested Shakti Shalini might be postponed to 2027 to avoid a box office clash, but promotional materials screened alongside Prahaar confirm the original date. Both films are set for a major Christmas release, generating anticipation for their box office competition. Shakti Shalini is part of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, while King marks Shah Rukh Khan's first film with his daughter Suhana Khan.
