There is tremendous excitement among audiences for Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming action thriller King. From the star cast to the grand action sequences, several aspects of the film are already creating buzz. However, what fans are discussing the most right now is the skyrocketing budget of the film.
Rising Curiosity Around ‘King’
King is one of Shah Rukh Khan’s most anticipated projects. After the massive success of Pathaan and Jawan, expectations for this film have reached new heights. Shah Rukh’s transformation from a romantic hero to a mass action star has been widely appreciated by audiences. Naturally, fans are eager to know more about what King will offer.
Budget Crosses ₹350 Crore
In terms of story, cast, scale, and visual grandeur, King is shaping up to be a massive film. According to reports, the budget of the film has already crossed ₹350 crore. Bollywood Hungama states that this figure does not even include the cost of print, promotion, and marketing. With such a budget, King may become one of the most expensive action films ever made in Hindi cinema.
Initial Plans for the Film Were Very Different
As per Bollywood Hungama, King was initially planned under the direction of Sujoy Ghosh, and Shah Rukh Khan was only supposed to appear in a cameo. At that time, the film’s budget was around ₹150 crore.
However, as the script demanded major rewrites and expansion, the project was handed over to director Siddharth Anand.
Once Siddharth Anand and Shah Rukh came together, they decided to mount the film on a far grander scale. The goal was to create action sequences unlike anything Indian cinema has seen before. Since Shah Rukh is also co-producing the film, he has given Siddharth complete creative freedom.

A New Vision with a ₹350-Crore Budget
Siddharth Anand reworked the script, redesigned the action blocks, and developed a fresh vision for the film. Based on this new approach, the final production budget was locked at ₹350 crore.
According to Shah Rukh, King is a project designed for global appeal. Films of this scale in Western countries would cost hundreds of millions of dollars, yet Siddharth is managing to create grand visuals in a far more economical manner.
Six Massive Action Sequences
The film reportedly features six high-intensity action sequences.
Out of these: Three major sequences have been shot on real locations, While the remaining three will be filmed on large, specially constructed sets. Some of the biggest action blocks have already been shot in Poland, including: A prison action sequence, A boat chase, A car chase
