At the same time, excitement is mounting for his next major venture: ‘King’, a sprawling action-thriller directed by Siddharth Anand and produced under the banner of Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures.

In honour of his six-decade milestone, cinema chains including PVR Inox have launched a film festival starting October 31, screening Khan’s most iconic works in over 30 cities. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9} Meanwhile, early shots from ‘King’ hint at a dramatic transformation for Khan—leaked photographs show him sporting grey hair and a commanding demeanour, underscoring the film’s departure from his romantic-hero roots. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
For fans and critics alike, it’s a compelling intersection: a superstar marking a personal milestone as he embarks on what many believe will be a defining cinematic event. If ‘King’ lives up to its promise, it may well represent a new chapter in Khan’s storied career—and a birthday gift to the millions who have grown up watching him.
Yet, the journey isn’t without its bumps: “King” has reportedly faced a shoot delay following Khan’s shoulder injury while filming intense action sequences. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11} Execution, then, remains as crucial as ambition.
Still, as the lights go up in theatres and celebrations begin across fan-zones, the message is clear: The King turns 60 today—and his coronation on screen may be just getting started.
