Shah Rukh Khan’s Upcoming Movies in 2025 — Full List & What to Expect
Fans keep asking: is Shah Rukh Khan releasing a film in 2025? Short answer: no confirmed theatrical releases for SRK in calendar year 2025 — but it’s not a quiet period. The man of a thousand titles is busy: big-scale projects are in production, sequels are being planned, and SRK appears in high-profile cameos and voice roles that keep him visible while larger films are readied for 2026 and beyond.
This article gives a clear, source-checked snapshot of everything Shah Rukh Khan is officially attached to as of August 23, 2025. You’ll get:
A quick answer about 2025 releases and why the year looks light for theatrical SRK work.
A compact “full list” of projects (films, sequels, voice work, high-profile cameos) with current status, likely timelines, and what’s confirmed vs. speculative.
A deeper look at the biggest project in production — King — with cast, director, production notes and likely release window.
Status updates on the YRF Spy Universe entries (Pathaan 2 / Tiger vs Pathaan) and the highly discussed Jawan 2. I’ve marked which items are officially confirmed, which are in development, and which are only rumours — and I’ve linked reputable reporting for every important claim so you can verify.
If you want a one-line takeaway: 2025 is the “build and prep” year for SRK — big releases (and the next theatrical Shah Rukh Khan event) are scheduled for 2026 and later. Read on for the full, sourced list and what each project actually means for fans.
Quick answer: Is Shah Rukh Khan releasing any films in 2025?
No. As of August 23, 2025, there are no confirmed Shah Rukh Khan theatrical releases scheduled for the 2025 calendar year. His last big theatrical releases were the 2023 blockbusters and voice work in late 2024; his major next feature, King, went into production in 2025 but is being positioned for a 2026 release. That makes 2025 a gap year for new SRK theatrical releases, but an active prep/production year overall.
Full list: Shah Rukh Khan projects in 2025 (what’s confirmed, in production, or only rumour)
Below I list every project Shah Rukh Khan is publicly linked to as of Aug 23, 2025, with status notes and sources.
1) King — (Status: In production; expected theatrical release in 2026)
What it is: A large-scale action-thriller produced by Red Chillies and reportedly directed by Siddharth Anand (the director of Pathaan). Shah Rukh Khan confirmed Siddharth Anand’s involvement publicly and the film went into schedules in 2025.
Cast (reported): Shah Rukh Khan in the lead; multiple reports place Suhana Khan (SRK’s daughter) in a major role. Several established actors (reports name Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor in various parts) are linked — casting details have been rolling out through entertainment outlets.
Why it matters: This is being built as SRK’s next major theatrical tentpole — expect high production values, international locations and a wide release window (the makers have reportedly eyed festival and holiday windows in 2026).
2) Pathaan 2 / YRF Spy Universe sequels — (Status: In development; not for 2025 release)
The YRF Spy Universe (which includes Pathaan and Tiger franchises) is planning follow-ups. Pathaan 2 is discussed in industry reporting; Tiger vs Pathaan has been talked about for years but—according to multiple outlets—the YRF team has paused or reworked the project for now. In short: these are in development, but not confirmed as 2025 releases.
3) Jawan 2 (sequel) — (Status: Director and franchise interest confirmed; no release date)
Director Atlee has publicly said a sequel to Jawan is possible and has discussed ideas in interviews. Atlee’s comments and subsequent media coverage make a sequel likely at some point — but no shooting schedule or 2025 release date has been officially announced. This remains a “planned/possible” sequel rather than a 2025 confirmed title.
4) Cameos & Voice/Non-theatrical roles in 2025 — (Status: released or released-to-be)
Ed Sheeran — “Sapphire” music video: SRK makes a cameo appearance in Ed Sheeran’s 2025 music video Sapphire (widely covered by Filmfare and others). This is a high-profile, non-film appearance that kept him visible in 2025.
The Ba*ds of Bollywood (Netflix) — Aryan Khan’s series:** Aryan Khan’s Netflix series preview opens with a Shah Rukh Khan voice-over; SRK appears to have contributed voice work and a promotional tie-in. This is a streaming series (not an SRK-starrer film), released/previewed in 2025.
5) Other rumours to watch (Karan Johar project, cameo chatter, fan trailers) — (Status: Unconfirmed / speculative)
Several entertainment sites and fan pages periodically list projects (a “Karan Johar film” mention or fan-made trailers). Treat these as rumour until production houses or SRK’s team confirm. For example, some outlets aggregate “upcoming lists” that include speculative entries — useful for tracking buzz, but not the same as studio announcements. Always check the original producer or SRK’s official channels for confirmation.
The short deep-dive: King (the biggest confirmed SRK project in 2025)
Why King is the headline:
Director: Shah Rukh confirmed Siddharth Anand’s involvement (Anand directed Pathaan). That alone sets expectations for large-scale action and global distribution.
Production: Multiple reliable outlets reported King began shoots/schedules in 2025 and the first leg wrapped in mid-2025. The makers are reportedly eyeing a big 2026 holiday window.
Cast & stakes: The film is notable because it reportedly brings SRK and his daughter Suhana Khan together on-screen, alongside established names. That adds emotional and media interest on top of the commercial ambitions.
What this means for fans: King is the primary reason SRK’s theatrical calendar is light in 2025 — big films demand longer prep and shooting. Expect heavy marketing in late 2025 and 2026, with teasers, first-look posters and a trailer closer to the confirmed release date.
Why 2025 looks quiet (the business side)
Scale and schedule: Large productions now take many months (sometimes over a year) to film and post-produce. When a superstar signs one big film, other projects are often deferred so the team can focus on schedule, marketing and global release windows. King is a textbook example.
Franchise planning: Studios (YRF, Red Chillies, etc.) are rethinking franchise timelines (YRF’s spy universe has had reported pauses while it’s revamped). That slows down big crossovers like Tiger vs Pathaan.
Diverse visibility: SRK and his team used 2025 to keep his public profile high via selective voice roles and cameo appearances (e.g., Sapphire music video, voiceover for Aryan’s series), which require much less blocking than a full feature.
How to interpret rumours vs confirmed news (simple checklist for fans)
Confirmed = production house or SRK/team or major outlet (PTI/NDTV/Times of India/India Today) reports production start, director confirmation, or distributor date.
Likely = credible interviews (director or producer hints) but no schedule.
Rumour = fan pages, unverified YouTube “trailers” or aggregation sites that list speculative dates.
When in doubt, check the production company’s official channels and SRK’s verified social accounts.
Timeline snapshot (what to expect next)
Late 2025: increased promotion for King (first-look images, casting confirmations) — production updates appear as schedules wrap.
2026: likely window for King (reports have signalled major 2026 festival/holiday targets).
Beyond 2026: sequels and YRF Universe projects (Pathaan 2, Tiger vs Pathaan) — timelines depend on script and studio strategy; expect official announcements once writers and studios lock the story.

Final thoughts — what fans should do right now
Stay patient: Big SRK films are back-ended (shot over months, marketed heavily). 2025 is the set-up year for what looks like a major 2026 return.
Follow official channels: Production houses (Red Chillies / Yash Raj / studio handles) and SRK’s verified social/X accounts post the first reliable confirmations.
Enjoy the smaller treats: cameo videos, music-video appearances, and streaming voice roles keep SRK in the spotlight between theatrical releases (and those are fun, official pieces of work you can watch today).
