This move confirms that King Khan will be reclaiming the lucrative Christmas window, a slot he has successfully dominated in the past. According to trade sources, the decision to opt for a Christmas release was highly strategic.

King is set to be a landmark film for several reasons, most notably because it marks the theatrical debut of Suhana Khan.

Beyond the primary cast, there is significant industry buzz regarding the broader ensemble; names like Deepika Padukone (rumored for a powerful cameo), Jaideep Ahlawat, and Arshad Warsi are heavily linked to the project, promising one of the most star-studded cinematic events in recent years. While Sujoy Ghosh was initially tied to the director's chair, the reigns have now been officially handed over to Siddharth Anand, who previously collaborated with SRK for the historic blockbuster Pathaan.

The Raja Saab Advance Booking: National Chains Yet To Open Bookings In Hindi Amid Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic Show-Sharing Issue

Hyderabad, January 8 - One of the biggest box office clashes of the year, Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2 and Yash-fronted Toxic have already started intensifying, with over two months still left for their release, which is on March 19. And the victim of this clash is Pan-India superstar Prabhas-fronted The Raja Saab. The romantic horror-comedy, directed by Maruthi, is scheduled to hit the big screens tomorrow, January 9, but the full-fledged advance booking in Hindi, especially in national chains, is yet open. As of now, only the single-screen cinemas and independent and smaller chains have begun booking for The Raja Saab. Anil Thadani-backed AA Films is distributing The Raja Saab in Hindi, and according to the report by Bollywood Hungama, the distributors are asking the national chains to give considerable shows to Toxic, which will be distributed by the same distribution house. Only then will these cinemas get to play the Prabhas-starrer. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The report further stated that the theatre chains haven't agreed to the demand as Toxic clashes with Dhurandhar 2 on March 19. The theatres have earned a huge amount of moolah because of Dhurandhar's first part, which is still running in cinemas. It's a given that Dhurandhar 2 will have an earth-shattering opening. The theatre chains are also aware of the fact that Toxic is also a big film and is expected to do very well in Hindi. But they don't want to make any deal at this point for the film, and especially do not want to short-change Dhurandhar 2. This is where the matter regarding the Raja Saab booking has been stuck. Meanwhile, The Raja Saab has paid premieres today, January 8, from 9:00 pm onwards, and the bookings for the same are robust in Andhra Pradesh, while Telangana pre-sales will start after the government order regarding the ticket price hikes. The film's worldwide pre-sales for the opening day have crossed 30 crores and are headed to finish around 40 crores before the premiere shows start. Stay tuned...
