What's new

Filmmaker Siddharth Anand has posted a series of short, unexplained messages on X about his film KING, starring Shah Rukh Khan. The posts, which read "It's", "Time For The World" and "to celebrate", appeared at or around midnight, according to Bollywood Bubble. The messages came just before Khan's birthday on November 2. Anand has not said what the posts refer to.

Why it matters

KING is described by Bollywood Bubble as one of the most awaited films of 2026 and Khan's first big-screen return in three years, after Dunki in 2023. Bollywood Bubble reports that the film is touted as one of the most expensive ever made in India, at a reported cost of Rs 450 crore. The timing of the posts has pushed fan interest higher as the release approaches.

What others say

Bollywood Bubble notes that Anand posted a similar teaser last year before Khan's birthday, followed by the film's first look on November 2. The outlet says this has led fans to ask whether a comparable reveal is coming.

What we don't know yet

No official confirmation has been given about what the posts are hinting at, whether they are linked to each other, or whether any announcement will follow on or around Khan's birthday.
