The news unfolded in a thoroughly modern fashion. It began with Shah Rukh Khan's surprise cameo in the music video for Sheeran's latest single, ‘Sapphire,’ which also features Indian singer Arijit Singh. The buzz intensified when a behind-the-scenes video showed Sheeran recording what appeared to be a Punjabi version of the song. A fan’s query on social media prompted a direct response from Sheeran, who clarified the situation. "The Hindi song is for a Bollywood movie that Shah Rukh Khan is doing," he wrote, distinguishing it from the Punjabi version of his own track.
This confirmation has naturally led fans to connect the dots to King. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the gritty action-drama is the only film Shah Rukh Khan is actively shooting. The project, which also marks the theatrical debut of his daughter, Suhana Khan, has been developed under a veil of secrecy, making the potential addition of a Sheeran track even more tantalizing.
At present, the exact nature of the song and its role in the film are unknown. It could be part of the official soundtrack, a standalone promotional single, or a crossover element in the film's marketing campaign. Representatives for Shah Rukh Khan and the film's production team have yet to make an official statement. However, Sheeran’s clear confirmation has given fans ample reason to be excited. If the track is indeed for King, it would fuse two of the world's biggest entertainment industries, creating a unique cultural moment and setting a new benchmark for international collaborations in Indian cinema.
