Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone is on the cusp of achieving a significant box office milestone with the upcoming film King.

This film marks the fifth collaboration between Padukone and Khan, whose previous partnerships have consistently been box office successes.
Padukone is aiming to shatter records with King, targeting an opening day collection of 50 crore net or more in India. She has previously delivered two films with openings exceeding 50 crore net: Pathaan (57 crore) and Kalki 2898 AD (93 crore). If King achieves this target, Padukone will become the sole Indian actress with three such high-grossing opening days.
The film also signifies Shah Rukh Khan's return to the big screen after a two-year hiatus. The initial teaser has generated considerable excitement, particularly Khan's new look. Irrespective of critical reviews, King is anticipated to have a strong opening weekend.
