Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘King’ To Be Released In International Territories By Phars Film
Phars Film will distribute Shah Rukh Khan’s film King in international cinemas from 24 December, opening on the same day as its Indian release. The deal gives the film an overseas distributor and supports its prospects as a major global release.
Directed by Siddarth Anand, King reunites him with Khan after their 2023 hit Pathaan. Red Chillies Entertainment is producing the film with Marflix Pictures, while Pen Marudhar holds distribution rights in India. Red Chillies CEO Venky Mysore said Phars Film’s international reach and market expertise would strengthen the film’s global prospects.
In short
- Phars Film will release King internationally.
- The film opens on 24 December.
- It reunites Shah Rukh Khan and Siddarth Anand.
Explained simply
Shah Rukh Khan is an Indian actor with a large international audience. King is a film directed by Siddarth Anand, who previously worked with Khan on the 2023 action film Pathaan.
Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures are producing King, while Pen Marudhar handles its distribution in India. Phars Film distributes Indian films in international markets, so its involvement helps bring the film to cinemas outside India.
A release in India and overseas on the same day makes the film available to audiences across several markets at once. Its international reach matters because films with well-known stars such as Khan can attract viewers beyond their home country.
