Shakti Shalini's Release Date May Shift to January 2027 to Avoid Clash with King

Aneet Padda's film Shakti Shalini, initially slated for a December 24, 2026 release, is reportedly considering a new release date in January 2027 to avoid clashing with Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone's King. The movie, part of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe and directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, features Padda in dual roles rooted in Bengali folklore. The final release decision may follow the release of Cocktail 2, starring Shahid Kapoor.
