Mumbai: The title reveal of the Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film ‘King’ was unveiled on Sunday on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

The video asset starts with a bird-eye view of an island facility. A large part of the video features SRK’s voice-over perfectly synced with the action shots until his face as the titular character is revealed. The voice-over establishes the titular character as his dread as a ruthless mercenary, who has lost the count of how many people he has killed, and doesn’t even know if they were good or bad people.

The asset is laced with action and violence in equal proportions topped up with stylised shots. The moment of SRK’s face-reveal in the video arrives as he rocks the silver-haired look with short hair. The unanimously known as King Khan take on the title role with merciless intensity. A man whose name inspires not just fear, but terror across continents as he says, “100 desho’n mein badnaam, duniya ne diya sirf ek hi naam”, ‘KING’.

One of the iconic moments from the title reveal is when the 60-year-old actor wields the King of Hearts card as a weapon, a symbolic nod to his enduring reign as the King of Hearts, both on and off-screen.

Social media reaction

Fans thronged the comments section with birthday wishes and praise for the superstar. One fan wrote, “Happy birthday king”, while another exclaimed, “BOX OFFICE BLAST”. A third commented, “Its showtime”, and one user quipped, “Abki Baar Jawan Ka Record Tutega”. Another remarked, “Rip Jawaan And Pathaan Records”, while one more fan added, “Aura hai bhaaaaiiiiii sahabbb”.

The film marks SRK’s 2nd collaboration with director-producer Siddharth Anand after ‘Pathaan’, and is a slick, high-octane action entertainer that redefines style, charisma, and thrills, and is set to be Siddharth Anand’s massiest film yet, taking his signature action storytelling to a whole new dimension.

Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures, ‘King’ is set to release in 2026.

Meanwhile, the birthday celebrations of SRK are in full-swing in Mumbai. Influential people from all walks of life are taking to their social media handles to send their best wishes to the megastar on his birthday.
