Reportedly, King is said to be one of India’s most expensive films to date, due to the scale, star-studded cast, and Hollywood-style stunt design. As per a Bollywood Hungama report, the film's production budget is around ₹350 crore, excluding additional costs on marketing and promotions, which means it can even go higher. If confirmed, King will be placed in the list of the costliest action films ever produced in India.

King was meant to be Sujoy Ghosh's directed action thriller starring Suhana Khan in the lead, with Shah Rukh Khan appearing only in an extended cameo, as per reports. However, the potential of the script led the makers to scale up the film. King's initial budget was said to be ₹150 crore.
