“I can’t recall how many lives I’ve taken. I never cared to know whether they were innocent or guilty. What I do remember is the terror in their eyes — and I was the cause of it,” says Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan in his upcoming film King.

Directed by Siddharth Anand, this high-octane spy thriller marks another collaboration after their blockbuster Pathaan. To celebrate Shah Rukh Khan’s birthday on Sunday, the makers officially unveiled the film’s title along with a short teaser video.

The teaser showcases Shah Rukh in a fierce new avatar, ready to dominate the big screen once again with powerful action sequences. In the glimpse, he declares, “The world has given me a name — ‘King’. I am not afraid… I am destruction.”

Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, King is scheduled for release next year, promising yet another action-packed spectacle from Bollywood’s reigning superstar.
