King
Film · 2026. Shah Rukh Khan’s Christmas action film, directed by Siddharth Anand. The October 2026 cast lists also include Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan and Anil Kapoor. Dated 24 December 2026.
Pathaan
Film · 2023. A RAW agent pulled back into the field goes after a rogue former agent. Yash Raj produced it as part of the spy universe that also includes War and Tiger. It was the film that put Shah Rukh Khan back at the top of the box office after several years away.
Jawan
Film · 2023. Atlee’s Hindi debut. Shah Rukh Khan plays a double lead in a prison-and-vigilante story aimed at public corruption. Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi are in the principal cast. Deepika Padukone appears in a special role. Red Chillies produced it.
Bajirao Mastani
Film · 2015. The Peshwa Bajirao’s marriage to Mastani, and the house that will not accept her, told as a Sanjay Leela Bhansali spectacle. Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra lead. It opened in December 2015.
Piku
Film · 2015. A Delhi architect and her ageing father drive to Kolkata with a taxi owner who did not agree to a family. Juhi Chaturvedi wrote it. Shoojit Sircar directed. The joke is domestic and bodily, and the film never turns the father into a saint.
Padmaavat
Film · 2018. Bhansali’s version of the Padmavati legend: a queen, a Rajput king, and Alauddin Khilji’s siege. The title was changed from Padmavati before release after months of protest. Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor lead.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Film · 2013. Four friends, a trek, and a wedding years later. Ayan Mukerji directs. Dharma produced it. It is the travel romance a lot of viewers still put on, and it is the Ranbir–Deepika film people mean if they do not mean Tamasha.
Om Shanti Om
Film · 2007. A junior artist in 1970s Bombay loves a star, dies, and is reborn into the industry that killed the story. Farah Khan directs. It is Deepika Padukone’s first Hindi lead. The film is a comedy about the movies and, underneath that, a reincarnation revenge.
Kalki 2898 AD
Film · 2024. The year is 2898 AD and the city of Kashi is a dystopia. A lab subject known as SUM-80 is carrying a child believed to be Kalki, the final incarnation of Vishnu. A group sets out to protect her, the immortal Ashwatthama senses something divine in her, and a bounty hunter called Bhairava has his own reasons for wanting her found.
