The Shah Rukh Khan-starring King ranks among the most anticipated Bollywood projects slated for 2026. Set to hit theaters on December 24th, the feature is anticipated to pull off a massive opening at the Indian box office on the back of immense hype. Should everything go according to expectations, it has the potential to emerge as Khan’s biggest commercial success to date. Furthermore, the release offers Siddharth Anand a chance to surpass Rohit Shetty within Koimoi’s Director Ranking. Read on for the full breakdown!
Filmmakers in India are evaluated according to the performance of their Hindi and Bollywood titles across prestigious box office milestones, including the 100-crore, 200-crore, and subsequent clubs. Within the Koimoi Directors’ Ranking system, directors receive 100 points for every movie entering the 100-crore club, 200 points for a 200-crore club entry, and so forth. Additionally, filmmakers secure 50 points for each feature landing among the top 10 overseas grossers.
Powered by Pathaan entering the 500-crore club alongside Fighter joining the 200-crore club, Siddharth Anand has accumulated a robust total of 1150 points in the Koimoi Director Ranking. Currently occupying the 3rd position, he sits right behind Rohit Shetty, who holds 1450 points. With King arriving this year, Anand is positioned for a substantial point boost.

A look at the numbers shows that Rohit Shetty maintains a 300-point lead. Consequently, if King manages to secure a spot in the domestic 300-crore club, Siddharth Anand will surpass Shetty.
Securing those 300 points will elevate Anand’s score to 1450. Even with the resulting tie, he will take over Rohit Shetty’s 2nd-place ranking because Anand boasts a 500-crore net grosser in his filmography, whereas Shetty has none.
Here’s the breakdown of Siddharth’s 1150 points:
- 1 film in the 100 crore club (Bang Bang) = 100 points
- 1 film in the 200 crore club (Fighter) = 200 points
- 1 film in the 300 crore club (War) = 300 points
- 1 film in the 5000 crore club (Pathaan) = 500 points
- 1 film in the top 10 overseas grossers of Bollywood (Pathaan) = 50 points
