The stage is officially set for one of the most anticipated big-screen debuts in recent Bollywood history. Suhana Khan, the daughter of superstar Shah Rukh Khan, is preparing for her theatrical debut in director Siddharth Anand’s massive action spectacle, King. With the film exactly 100 days away from its release, fans are already celebrating the major upcoming blockbuster.
While Suhana’s streaming debut generated significant buzz, stepping into the theatrical market alongside her father places her in a strong position to challenge existing box office records. However, she faces stiff competition from fellow newcomer Ahaan Panday, who took the box office by storm with his 2025 romance saga, Saiyaara.
King Box Office – Will Suhana Khan Dethrone Ahaan Panday?
It remains to be seen whether Suhana Khan’s theatrical debut can claim the title of the highest-grossing star kid of the post-COVID era. Ahaan currently holds three major records as a debutant star kid that could potentially be challenged by Suhana’s King.

Ahaan Panday currently holds the crown for the most successful post-COVID debut by a star kid, having established three formidable records with Saiyaara.
1. 500 crore global grosser with a debut film
With Saiyaara achieving a worldwide gross box office collection of 570.67 crore, Ahaan Panday became the first star kid to cross the 500-crore global milestone with a debut film. In fact, he is the first star ever to accomplish this feat.
2. Highest-grossing star kid post-COVID
Across both domestic and international box office markets, Ahaan Panday stands as the highest-grossing star kid of the post-COVID era. Observers will be watching to see if Suhana Khan can surpass him through the box office performance of King.
3. 600% Return on Investment
Ahaan Panday is also the only star kid to yield a return on investment exceeding 500%. Produced on a budget of 45 crore and backed by a domestic net collection of 337.69 crore in India, Saiyaara generated a profit of 292.69 crore at the box office.
For Suhana Khan to capture Ahaan Panday’s crown and secure her place as the top-grossing star kid post-COVID, King has a high benchmark to clear. However, with Shah Rukh Khan sharing the screen and Siddharth Anand directing the action film, reaching these targets could prove quite achievable. The answers arrive on December 24, 2026.
