There's some new news: Pen Marudhar has bought the rights to show *King* in theaters for a huge amount of 250 crores.

 This is one of the biggest deals of the year because the movie stars India's biggest superstar, Shah Rukh Khan. A trade insider told Bollywood Hungama, "Pen Marudhar has bought the rights to show *King* for 250 crores. The company has worked with Shah Rukh Khan's production house before, having shown films like *Jawan*, *Dunki*, *Zero*, *Badla*, *Ittefaq*, and others."

*King* is set to come out during the busy Christmas 2026 period, which is also when big Hollywood movies like *Avengers: Doomsday*, *Dune 3*, and *Jumanji* are coming out.

 Shah Rukh Khan was looking for a strong partner to help him show the movie during this challenging time, and he wants it to be shown widely across the country in December.

The big deal for *King* shows that people are confident in the movie theaters again and also shows how much Shah Rukh Khan is still able to attract crowds after his successful comeback with his latest hits.

 Many top companies, including A.A. Films, Jio Studios, PVR INOX Pictures, Yash Raj Films, and Dharma Productions, were all competing to get the domestic rights for the movie.
