Netizens react to King first look
Shah Rukh Khan's fans are now eager for King to release soon. In fact, they are so eager that these fans ask why do they have to wait till 2026 for the film to release.
King first look reveal
King's first look revealed is a bloody handed Shah Rukh Khan sitting in deep thought. This time, the actor has embraced a salt-and-pepper look, which is something he was seen in briefly for Atlee's Jawan. For King, though, SRK has gone all-out with the very look. Here, the superstar holds his hand in what appears to be a pentagram/star. The actor has taken on the role of an anti-hero for the movie, or so it seems. The story will further reveal whether he is the antagonist or turned into one owing to a situation he was put up against. Nonetheless, there is a criminal side to him which made it to both the title reveal video as well as first look reveal.
Shah Rukh Khan's birthday
Shah Rukh Khan is celebrating his 60th birthday with fans. He has dedicated the day for his fans whether it be in theatres, OTT or the back-to-back surprises from King. After his line-up of films releasing in theatres, Netflix announced its tie-up with YRF films, and SRK’s romantic movies from YRF are out on the OTT platform today. Truly, it is SRK day for the fans, and a memorable one as their superstar (considered the last ever Bollywood superstar) turns 60.
