The unveiling of Shah Rukh Khan’s striking salt-and-pepper look for his forthcoming film ‘King’ on his birthday sparked both admiration and controversy. While fans celebrated his adventurous role choices, online discussions quickly arose comparing one of his ‘King’ promotional appearances to Brad Pitt’s attire in the ‘F1’ movie. Critics suggested that Khan’s style was derivative. Nevertheless, the loyal fanbase of the ‘King Khan’ swiftly mobilized to counter these accusations. Armed with visual proof from social media platforms, they demonstrated that Shah Rukh Khan had indeed donned a comparable brown jacket and blue shirt combination in his 2017 film ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’. This timely intervention by fans effectively debunked the notion that SRK was borrowing from Brad Pitt’s ‘F1’ aesthetic. The ‘King’ teaser showcases Khan’s distinctive silver-haired style, signature ear accessories, and an undeniable charisma, evoking memories of his powerful ‘Jawan’ performance. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the film promises a thrilling action-packed experience and will also feature Suhana Khan. ‘King’ is slated for release in 2026.
